Union Jack table

Sabtu, 06 Februari 2016

I have been wanting to try a Jack for some time now. Couldnt find the right piece.  Then I saw
this one, from Restoration House Interiors.  I thought it looked so cool! Not to be copy-cat or anything, but I just had to copy it!!! hey, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.....right????!
This was just a standard 70s oak table. Hub cut it down. I sanded, mixed my chalk paint in a graphite, gray with a bit of blue added, and some white. Marking off the big cross wasnt that hard. But the lines going across just had me boggled. Im a bit OCD when it comes to having things line up properly. I wanted to make sure the spaces were even all the way around.  After I dont know how long of trying to get the small stripes to match up, I decided to use a template. I found a leftover piece of flooring that was exactly 4" wide. I laid it diagonal across the cross and that was it! Easy peasy.  Its a lot of taping, but no biggie. After the harlequin pattern, this thing was a breeze! It would look better on something rectangular, like a dresser, but whatever.   I havent decided if Im keeping it or selling it.
After cutting it down.  This wasnt an
antiques by the way.
                                       My cat Athena matches perfectly!
