So Union Jacks have been the rage in design and furniture painting, huh? I never did a Union Jack piece. I am only 1/8 English. But I am 1/4 Swedish. So I am telling Jack to hit the road and make way for my Johan- An interpretation of the Swedish flag!
Here is my plain table. Plain. Boring. But free.
It was already unfinished and ready to go. So i just dusted it off and painted it with two coats of “Watery” by Sherwin Williams. Then I measured and used tape to make a Swedish flag design, which looks like this….
I made mine a little “prettier” and softer color wise. I used a buttery yellow from my mom’s craft paint supply to paint the cross. Then it was distressed with the orbital sander, and then I rubbed it all over with some Golden Oak stain on a rag. And voila….
And my two favorite helpers wanted to come outside for picture time….
