After some linen coloured chalk paint, walnut stain and satin Varathane, it looks much better, I think.
I distressed it, too, that's so hard to do after working to paint it so nicely. But I like the looks of it distressed.
I am going to join The Delectable Home today, hope to see you over there.
Have a wonderful day!
Cindy
I need to find a more prominent place for such a pretty table, I'm thinking.
