Distressed furniture - do you like it?

I don't like the look of this one.

Nope. It's never been a look that I liked. (I agree that it looks like "shabby sh*t".)

I agree with you on this, I would rush to give it a good coat of painting.

It's one of those trends that's fashionable because it isn't real. If you have some real distressed furniture you're probably trying to renovate it!

Well, it is a personal choice..But it's definitely not for me. My OCD triggers looking at it and I want to paint it and fix it

for me it is good as it is more like designs.

So that is what it's called. I seldom see that kind of furniture in our place. Maybe not that popular because most that I see are really nice one. Maybe I see that in Museums where they are not really restored to its original state to look authentic antique.

Each to their own ! I don't like those fake antiques.Don't know if the washed-out jeans belong to the distressed ones.

I love to see the wood grain on wood furniture and dislike painted or distressed coverings. I grew up in the home that my Grandpa had built for him and my Gramma to raise their family in. As a result there were lots of cast offs in the home that Gramma did not deem necessary when they moved to their new home in their elderly years. One day my hubs, who was just my boyfriend at the time, was in the basement getting cleaned up after helping load tomatoes, spied a huge table with an ugly big plastic flowery tablecloth near the washing machine. He spied the double pedestal and my Dad took him over to it and lifted the cloth up so that he could see it better. It had many coats of paint on it, most of which were peeling back. My Dad explained to him that it was hickory and originally belonged to his grandparents, but now was a cast off which my mother used to store laundry soap on. He was so interested that he gave it to my hubs. My hubby took it to a place where they took it all apart and dipped and stripped the layers of paint off of it. It remains in bits and pieces as the pedestal itself was rotted. We have the claw feet that go on the bottom of that pedestal and the 3 leaves as well as the table top and the skirt that goes around it. I believe that when our son owns a home large enough for such a piece that we will take it to a woodworker to put the pieces back together and then invite our son and his wife to choose a stain. Of course it has no chairs, so they will be on the hook to buy some.

I don't like distressed furniture"

When I get distressed, my value goes down. When furniture gets distressed, it's considered more valuable!

I actually like this distressed piece of furniture, but I'd never mar up furniture to give it this older look.

I agree to you point .

Hi, greetings . . . seems you have an art desire and that's awesome, congratulation to you

In a word: "NO!" Not into the artificially distressed look.

I like the feel of antique furniture. I didn't know it can be distressed

It's not my cup of tea but some people like that sort of thing. If I had a genuine antique I would love it.

It is a lovely bit of work he has done there.

It depends on the piece. I love old antique and prefer the real distressed thing.

Oh that's interesting. Are you in interior design field?
