New old wood

My sister gave me this table a while ago, (I think it was from Pottery Barn) when it was in our old house it didn’t look so bad. But then we moved into our current house with its yellow tones EVERYWHERE-blinds, wood flooring, cabinets, I decided if I wanted to keep it, it would have to get a makeover. I planned on staining it some sort of gray color, but for some reason I couldn’t find one and I procrastinated cuz I really didn’t need another almost full can of paint/stain stored in the garage. Then I saw this on pinterest. It was amazingly easy and cool that I already had everything except the steel wool which I found easily enough at Walmart. Heres what you need:

Cut up the steel wool into smaller pieces, place in glass jar and pour enough vinegar to cover wool. Let sit for 24 hours or longer. The longer it sits, the darker it will be.
