Cait from Little City Farmhouse transformed a simple thrift store find into a beautiful coastal driftwood table! Read on to find out how.

After sanding down the original shiny finish on the table top, here's what Cait had to work with:



To give it more of a coastal look, she started by painting the table top with one thin coat of the color, Driftwood. However, she wanted to keep some of that wood grain peeking through, so she mixed 1 part water with 1 part Driftwood. This helped the paint color absorb into the wood and create more of a stained finish.



Next she created her own custom tinted glaze by mixing 4 parts Clear Glaze with 1 part paint in the color Sunday Tea.

She used an oval paint brush to apply the glaze, then wiped away the excess with a damp rag.

Finally, to add a little bit more texture, she added a touch of Crinoline to her glaze mixture to lighten it up even more, then dry brushed it on to her table top.



She painted the table legs with Dune Grass, then sealed the entire table with Antiquing Wax.



Now it's ready for a light and airy coastal home!
