Tiny Table Transformation

I really like the look of furniture with a stained top and painted "bottom"....so that's what I  had in mind for this little $5 yard sale find!

Somewhere in her lifetime, she must have had a little shelf at the bottom....because there were holes in her legs that got filled with wood putty.

I put one not so perfect coat of primer over the bottom part of the table, including the drawer!

Before spray painting the bottom of the table, I used newspaper to tape off the top. 

 After getting the top sanded down (which I didn't get pics of).....I applied a coat of stain....then, sanded it down....then, applied another coat.  I put a coat of polyurethane....sanded it with very fine steel wool....and applied another coat.  Then....I used the same stain to put a "wash" over the table legs, letting the stain stay in the grooves.

Note to self....use gloves when using stain, especially when you have a dental appointment that afternoon!!!

Here she is sporting her brand new little knob that I got from Lowe's!!!

 And, I went thru my stash of scrapbook papers and found one that I liked and used spray adhesive to adhere it to the inside of the drawer.

Here she is sitting in the foyer holding a little lamp and some fall decorations!!!

So....whatcha think?  

I told Pappy I'm ready to do this to our dining room table!!!

In His Most Precious Love....and with mine!!!
