\nAntiquing brings a beautifully aged look to surfaces. This distressed wooden runner is the perfect foundation for adding a layered centerpiece to your dining table.
\nMaterials:<\/strong>
\nWooden board (or various pieces of scrap wood)
\nPaint
\nPaintbrush
\nBrads, nails or wood screws
\nPainters tape
\nTools:<\/strong>
\nTape measure
\nPencil
\nMiter saw, or hand saw
\nBrad gun, power drill or hammer
\nPower sander or sanding block
\nHeavy chain
\nStep 1: Measure and cut board to size<\/strong>
\nSelect a board to create the runner. This is a great scrap wood project, as the runner can be any size you like.  Measure your desired length (or width) and cut to size.
\n\"Measuring\"Cutting
\nStep 2: Sand off old color (optional)<\/strong>
\nWe used a piece of scrap wood that had been previously painted. Since it was drastically different from the look that we wanted we sanded the color off.
\n\"Sanding
\nStep 3: Distress board<\/strong>
\nTo distress your board, give a few good whacks with a heavy chain or hammer.  This will help create that “time-worn”, “imperfect” look.
\n\"A \"A
\nStep 4: Paint board<\/strong>
\nYou can either paint your board with straight paint, or you can create a wash by mixing a small amount of paint and water together.  We chose to create a wash with the color Kindling N200-6<\/a>.
\n\"Person
\nPaint your board with your color.  Allow to dry and apply a second coat if needed\/desired.
\n\"Person \"Board
\nStep 5: Dry brush color texture<\/strong>
\nGently tap a dry brush into the texture color of your choice (we used Ultra Pure White<\/a>).  Lightly brush the length of the board with your color. Continue brushing on color, applying more paint in some areas over others.  Stop when you are happy with the look.
\n\"Painting
\nStep 6: Apply feet (optional)<\/strong>
\nIf you would like your runner to sit up off the table you will need to create and attach two feet.  Measure and cut two lengths of scrap wood or a square dowel to fit your runner.
\n\"Person
\nSand down any rough edges.
\n\"Person
\nPosition in place and attach to the bottom of the runner with tape.
\n\"Adding
\nFlip the board over and secure in place with brads, nails or screws.
\n\"Drilling
\nStep 7. Dress for holiday occasion<\/strong>
\nPlace on your table and decorate for your holiday gathering.
\n\"Table
\nColorfully yours,
\n-Quinn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
