Ironing Board to Surf Board Table

Surfboard Table

It started as a vintage wooden ironing board.
When I saw it, I instantly knew what I was going to do with it.  
Gotta love those moments!

I used the jigsaw to give it a more surfboard shape...

I taped it off for the stringer detail and dry brushed with blue
The blue and white in this pic is the tape

I added white to the center stringer line and  
left the natural wood for the other two stringer lines.
I sealed it with paste wax..."waxing down my surfboard" you could say...yes, I went there

I think this would make a great sofa table at a beach house or even as extra serving space for a party


Basically, I suck at "staging" photos.  
But I actually did made an effort this time 
by getting a vase with some green stuff in it and lighting a candle. 
 I tried and well... you get the idea..."A" for effort and all that, right? :)

And the best part, if you are using for temporary serving space, it folds up!

I've moved to Lucydesignsart.com to focus on my mosaic art. I'm no longer creating dragonflies or mermaids.
