All done!

We "antiqued" this lovely old table, first effort at such a task and it was a lot of fun! Took awhile, stripped old paint, sanded, stencilled, more sanding, especially on corners and edges to get that "well worn and used look", a coating of antique glaze,
then two coats of furniture paste wax and then buffed our butts off! I really like the finished product, and am anxious to attack the chairs next. They will all be in different colors, the colors in the stencil, sage green, pale yellow, blue and terra cotta. The chairs I expect will take me longer to do, though smaller, harder to get at some spots. (btw, we haven't pushed the two halves of the table together yet, not to worry, we were waiting for it all to "set up" first.

But stay posted for when the whole set is finished! We will move this into the dining room later today, when Rod gets home from visiting Corey, and use our old oak chairs for the time being. Ah, the joy in a finished project ( the table leastways!).
