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".

I think this is a fabulous idea. I love how it turned out. Paint is so amazing.
I can't afford anything in RH at all. I love to look at their catalog, though.

I covered my island bar with metal , but the cornors are sharp . You just gave me a great idea to fix that ! Thanks ! Your bar looks great !
I can't believe how good the Martha Paint looks! The brackets were the perfect touch...and I love the foot rest at the bottom.

love it! great job, i need to buy some of that paint!
You did an awesome job. I love Restoration hardware but the prices!!!!! I don't care if my linen pillows come from Belgium or Target as long as they look the way I like. This is the coolest bar.
Oh and I love the paint. I really need to get out more. I have not seen metallic paints that look so cool. Thanks for your awesome post. Blessings Wanda
Nice!! That looks fantastic. I love the finished product.
I think it looks awesome!

Gorgeous, I love it!!! I saw that paint at Home Depot and was wondering how I could use it. Can you give instructions on using the stain/poly over the paint?
good job!!!
This has to be one of the most inspirational posts EVER! Can't wait to try this on a table I have sitting in my garage .. a very large table that is begging for your kind of re-do.
Wow...absolutely brilliant!
