When I saw this table, I knew I had to have it. I loved the sized. I loved the shape. I just knew I had to get it in my car! Once I got it home, it was determined that it needed some serious work. It was wobbly, coming apart and very dirty. So I cleaned it up and took it apart. I believe that at one point in it's life, it was a tall kitchen table and someone cut it to make it short. It has the runners for a leaf underneath. Whoever did cut it down just used a bunch of random screws to put it back together. My fiancé helped me to to build a more sturdy bottom and we put it all back together. Now it is a solid piece. I used Annie Sloan Old White for the bottom potion and sealed it with a clear wax. On the top, I sanded it down, stained it with a classic grey and sealed it with a matte polyurethane. The dimensions are 42W x 18H.
I loved this piece and hated to let it go. But there will always be more to paint!
