Small City Spaces

Give old stuff new lives by giving them a splash of color or re-finishing them. A table you bought last year might make a good antique piece if you know how and it’s probably banged-up anyway. Get any hard object such as keys and locks and take a whack at your desk making sure they are well distributed (you can use anything hard as long as you don’t hurt yourself by using it). After a whackin’, get some sand paper and sand off ant sharp edges that might have resulted in your whacking session so you don’t get splinters. Get a fine artist brush and some dark wood stain and stain in those cracks and crevices that you’ve just made. Let the stain dry and get hold of some semi gloss varnish or natural varnish and give it a few coats. You now have an antiqued table that is sure to make you smile (even after whacking it).
