Old white shabby chic set of tables

I found this set through gumtree it's made of solid dark oak extremely hard wearing. 
I've had a customer waiting quite a while for a set just like this and thankfully she loved them.  I painted it old white and sanded the edges to give it a worn look.
The design of the spindle legs really stand out now.  It's transformed into a light airy set of tables perfect for a modern home.

Unique hand painted nest of tables

I painted the nest of tables pictured below with Laura Ashley Eau de Nil and old white for the legs.  A customer requested this colour and Ive fallen in love with it. 
This is obviously the end result, let's rewind. 
Very basic mahogany nest of tables, it's an extremely sturdy set.  I honestly believe I'm turning into Del Boy another customer who bought this set of tables below
Well, she traded the Mahoney nest of tables as cash payment.  This saved me time having to source the product, win win situation.  
This finished product is a beautiful unique set of tables that's personally tailored to my customers needs.  It's a nice feeling to know you've created a feature piece that no one else owns.
