{ GREY AND BEAT UP - NEW IN THE FURNITURE SHOP }

finally... i finished a furniture piece!
painted in paris grey chalk paint
then beat up to perfection

some of the wear and tear is original
and some inflicted by yours truly

i really wanted this piece to look like
it was just pulled from the back of a barn

i think it looks as if
it could have been
a work table at one time

it's for sale in the shop
