in my house: farmhouse chic

This "too modern for me"sofa table got a soft, sweet makeover today. The table was dark and modern and very clean lined. I wanted soft and shabby... and since it lacked all the scrolly stuff I love, I gave it an extra rub down with the sander and got a sweet vintage farmhouse look!

Thanks to Gina's { The Shabby Chic Cottage } great tutorial I was able to get a gorgeous two-tone "years of layered paint" look! She rocks!
