    It refers to the finish on the furniture.  I do this with certain projects (wood)  I apply paint and sand it off in areas...bash the wooden in this case mirror frames (and end tables) with a hammer and other items...paint another colour sand...apply wax to certain areas...paint with another colour, sand and keep on layering until the mirror frame looks the way I want it to look and then apply at least 2 layers of varnish.

    Everything in my home is distressed.
