Curly Iron-Based Side Tables with Nail Head Trim

I purchased a pair of curvy iron bases from a friend.  

They originally were black, but I painted them gray and distressed them.

I bought two pre-made round table tops at Lowes for only $10 each.

I diluted the same gray paint I used for the bases and gave the raw wood a wash.  

All I did was apply the thinned paint and rub away with a damp cloth where it was too dark.

You can see the wood grain still showing.

To dress them up I added large nail heads around the edge.

This is a good look at the nail heads, the distressed base, and the gray wash.  

Sorry it looks like a face.

Oh my, it looks like a face!!

I styled the tables with some nature inspiration. 

 Oh please Spring, come soon.

One last look at that nail head.  

Yes, I admit I'm obsessed with nail head.
