| O.K. "Crazy me" decided I wanted an old farm table instead of the typical dining room table. I found this one and fell in love. This is the way it looked in the store. |
 |
| Sweet Hunter went to pick it up and I could tell by the look on his face, that he was thinking.......oh no! But I had a vision AGAIN! Everyone that saw it either hated or loved it! |
 |
| I went to Home Depot and bought 3 "common boards". Then my carpenter screwed it right on the table top and added some trim. I had already sanded the base of the table. |
 |
| I took Minwax Javabean stain and rubbed all over the table. |
 |
| On the base I used an off white paint and mixed it with a clear glaze to distress it. I used 1 part paint to 4 parts glaze. |
 |
| Then I polyurethaned the top 3 times sanding in between each coat! What ya think??? I am in love! Sweet Hunter loves it too!! I actually have had a couple of people want to buy it but Sweet Hunter says "NO.........it's perfect!" But "crazy me" is ready to do another one!!! So much fun! |

Oh, Val! You are my furniture refinishing hero!!! That is so gorgeous! You really have a knack for that, because seeing something in one form and having the vision of how it can look is the hard part, yet you could see it and visualize it! Amazing work, friend! B.

Oh my word that is just beautiful Val, and I think you found a new business, lol! Wonderful!
Completely envious.... You have a good eye for finding the 'diamond in the rough'. Enjoy the family times ahead at this table.
Val, I am in love with your new home. You did a fabulous job on the kitchen cabinets and the room is so big and those 2 tables will seat all your family when they visit! I think you guys are gonna love this place! I love to watch before/after on HGTV and your photos remind me of that!
