here is the "before"
I have not finished the letter holders:) that will be in a later post...
I
picked up this table at a garage sale..it was wobbly with loose legs and
the top was full of water stains. But it has dome much potential! I had
to bargain a bit, the owners said it was in the family since the
1930's, but one of the grandkids took it to his college dorm and pretty
much had destroyed it. They didn't want to spend the money to have it
refinished, but it was also hard to let go. But for $20 it was mine.
the details are amazing. The legs re-glued, and new pads on the feet and
a good sanding to smooth the top. I painted it a soft heirloom white
and added an antique glaze.This was to be displayed in a local antique
shop that I was consigning in, but the owner abruptly closed the shop,
so now I will most likely sell it on craigs list locally since it is too
hard to ship from my website.
I added a coupe waterslide decals to the top and sealed
Viola! Vintage French cottage!!

Love it, Debbie... I must try and tackle a few pieces of my own that need some refreshing! And congrats on the bargain, don't you just LOVE it?
The table is just gorgeous Debbie! I'd love to buy it myself. Perfect. And the paint certainly brings out the beautiful detail.
