A "New" Table

We bought a new table back in April.

Our old dinning table was given to our Daughter

and Son-In-Law since their dinning room is

quite a bit smaller than ours.

And, of course, we have about 20 people around

our table many times a year.

 

However, we knew from the time that we bought

it, that the color was all wrong but the size

and the ease for which it extended was perfect.

 

Well, my husband took the top off,
 

put it in the garage and went to work on that,

sanding, staining and sealing it.
 

 

I took the bottom of the table,

sanding...inside oh boy what a mess!

and painting, then antiquing it.

 

As you can see, the VERY blond color of

the original table was not pleasant to us.

 

But the dark provincial stain for the top and the

fun granny smith apple green for the base is just plain fun!
 

I like the outcome alot, and know that it looks

amazing in the dinning room......
 

now, for some turquoise chairs!!!
 

Yes, I Am!!
