{ Restoration Hardware Knock - Off }

Ahh, Restoration Hardware...

your tea stained burlap,

 your salvaged wood,

your weathered oak,

how I love you.

But, I don't love your prices.

Love this concrete topped table.

(although I thought it was a weathered metal when 

I first saw it - so we're goin' with that thought)

Remember our Man-Cave?

and this?

well, I didn't have the $3,325. to shell out to R.H.

So I improvised.

thanks Martha.

with a little dab of this rubbed over top 

of the metallic paint, to gives it a more

weathered look.

and the make-shift pine bar top became this...

it's much better now.
So, what was once a stand-in top 'til we
had more money to purchase something else,
has become a conversation piece and more than just a stand-in
in the Man-Cave.

I added metal brackets to the corners for more of the "Restoration Hardware feel".
