The Seaside Table

By Jeff Davis, Owner at Real Faux Decorative Finishes in Greenwood, IN.

This charming little side table pays homage to the colorful lobster bouys you find in fishing villiages along the coast of Maine. Just setting it in a room takes you to a place where the halyards are clanging and the sails are flapping in a fresh sea breeze! Finished entirely in chalk paint and saltwash with added details like the fender cleat knob and rope trim. The top features a handpainted vintage scene of a sailing ship at sunset.
