Curly Iron-Based Side Tables with Nail Head Trim

I purchased a pair of curvy iron bases from a friend. They originally were black, but I painted them gray and distressed them.

I bought two pre-made round table tops at Lowes for only $10 each. I diluted the same gray paint I used for the bases and gave the raw wood a wash. All I did was apply the thinned paint and rub away with a damp cloth where it was too dark. You can see the wood grain still showing.

To dress them up I added large nail heads around the edge.

This is a good look at the nail heads, the distressed base, and the gray wash. Sorry it looks like a face.

Oh my, it looks like a face!!
Since this month's design theme at Sweet Clover is A Naturalist's Cottage, I styled the tables with some nature inspiration. Oh please Spring, come soon.

One last look at that nail head.

Yes, I admit I'm obsessed with nail head.

Please come see us at our next Sweet Clover sale, February 20-22. Don't miss the Naturalist's Cottage.
Of course I'll have these unique tables for sale too.
