*** I made a table exactly like this out of reclaimed barn wood. The wood was weathered gray with an amazing red patina from the chip red paint of the barn...absolutely beautiful and I loved its rustic-ness. I made the mistake of coating the table (for your same reasons) in a semi-gloss lacquer. It is now shiny, and dark. Totally lost the rustic look, which is what I loved about it. Still looks good but not what I wanted.

TEST IT OUT on the bottom first!

I'm moving to Manhattan from California and your apartment totally inspires me! My jaw dropped when I saw how small apartments are in NYC but you guys have really made it work! I love the exposed brick and the architecture of the fireplace and I think you did a great job of making a cramped quarters appear spacious and beautiful! (and I adore the little pieces that you've collected from around the world...it makes your whole place a conversation piece!)
