Rustic Furniture Design - Nancy Hatcher Daniel

This was another one of those days that I just wanted to be able to start and finish a project in a few hours. It took about 1 1/2 hours to build and then it took another 1 1/2 hours to stain and paint - not counting the time spent waiting for the stain to dry before I painted it. It is painted with Annie Sloan Old White Chalk paint and the stain is General Finishes Java Gel stain. Both of those products are wonderful!

Let me start this photo album by telling you that when I first started building furniture I spent hours and hours on the computer going from one page to another page. Somewhere along the way I found Rustic Duck Furniture's page. She is located in Canada and she is absolutely wonderful. Her work is so inspiring! My friend wanted a sofa table and I jumped at the chance to make her one! I fell in love with this table when I saw it on Rustic DuckFurniture's page and my friend agreed. There weren't any plans on her page so I had to work off of the picture. My friend loved it so much that she didn't want to hide it behind her sofa and I agree.
