(Don't forget to link up to my Marvelous
Mess party.... I'll be choosing one project to feature on my
sidebar for a week!!)
Have you ever seen some beautiful "shabby chic" furniture pieces and wished you had the ability to make a coffee table look so fantastic?? I know I have. I've tried a variety of ways to age a piece....from buffing and sanding, to throwing and whacking it with chains (okay, I haven't done that one....but I watched a video tutorial on how to do it). It's all so much WORK. Ya know? We crafters need a break from the heavy labor sometimes required of our occupation.

I found the solution. I call it (aptly) The Distressor.
Take a look at these photos of a table who's distressing required nothing of me:
Here is my special tool that does all the work for me:
Actually, he does it all in *spite* of me.
I thought maybe I could rent him out to those interested. I have a satisfaction guarantee....something WILL get distressed (and it will probably be you).
What IS IT with Labs?!?!
