  Step 1

  Enough 1/4" x 2" or 3" wood slats to cover the top
  Americana Chalky Finish in colors you like
  *I chose Rustic and Heritage
  Hammer and 1" nails
  Sander
  Putty knife
  Paintbrushes
  Americana Decor Light Satin Varnish

  Step 2

  1. & 2. Arrange your slats to make sure they cover the entire table top
  3. Paint the slats Rustic on one side and don't worry about the edges
  4. Sloppily paint over the slats with a thick coat of orange and let dry for about 10 minutes
  5. After 10 minutes, scrape off the orange paint to get a chipped, aged look
  6. Sand the edges and face of each slat to expose bits of the raw wood
  7. Nail the slats to the table top
  8. Paint the base of the table Rustic and let dry
  9. & 10. Paint the base of the table in Heritage, wait 10 minutes and scrape off with a putty knife
  11. Sand the edges of the base and parts of the legs to expose the raw wood
  12. Coat the entire table in Americana Decor Light Satin Varnish

  Step 3

  Since this table is outside, I coated the finished table with Light Satin Varnish
