How to make furniture look worn and vintage?
I have an old wooden Coffee Table that is now creme and looks a bit too worn. It was my brother’s table and he was really hard on it and it is covered in stains and whatnot. SO, what I am asking is, I like the vintage look but I would like to do it with a darker brown. How can I achieve this look?
If you want a painted finish, sand it, prime it then repaint it in water-based paint in the colour of your choice. Then use some course sand paper to scuff the edges, round off corners etc. Then take some water-based light brown wood stain, water it down and wipe it over the piece with a rag working it into the scratches, dents, holes and any grooves or recesses. Wipe off any excess with the rag or a clean wet rag. There that should do it.

Table Lamps From a Living Tradition
The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co have just added a new range of decorative reproduction table lamps to their collection.
The company is well known for their extensive range of antique lighting, i.e., table lamps at least 100 years old. They are now expanding their range to add vintage and contemporary porcelain lamps in antique style, thus continuing a living tradition. By example, China is well represented, with its unique one thousand year history of porcelain production and multitude of shapes and styles to draw from. Some of the decorations they have included were first created during the Ming dynasty, circa 1450.
The lamps pictured were reproduced to commemorate the most expensive vase ever sold. This original Ming vase was purchased in May 2006 by American, Steve Wynn for US$10,200,000, who then donated it to the Macau museum!
The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co believe that the essence of a room is in balanced and effective lighting. The true value of any scheme will not be realised if this important element is overlooked. Choosing good table lamps will make a substantial contribution to correct this problem and will certainly add to the pleasure of home life.
Lighting is a major key to creating atmosphere within the home and the trend now is for minimal use of down-lights with a softer approach to interior lighting. The company’s new range offers a choice of alternative vintage and reproduction lamp styles that compliment all interiors from traditional to contemporary.
The Antique and Vintage Table Lamp Co are a complete one-stop-shop for decorative antique lamps and hand made, silk and linen shades.
The Antique & Vintage Table Lamp Co ship lamps, ready wired for the U.S, the U.K and Australia.
