I never met a faux tortoise that I didn't like. Tortoise print is such a classic and sophisticated way to add interest to a room. Tortoise furniture and accessories were long considered to be a luxury, and we can now recreate that luxury with faux tortoise painted furniture. Grant K. Gibson designed the faux tortoise Parson tables above using warm, rich tones. Miles Redd, on the other hand, used more vibrant green tones for his.

This weekend I plan to follow this follow this tutorial and create my own timeless tortoise table -- check back Monday for the results!  Wish me luck!

What are your plans for the weekend?
