Entry table redo

I've been stalking perusing Craigslist for several months looking for that perfectly priced little table for my hallway entry. I came across this little number for $35.00. I found the half-round shape & legs interesting. Since it's forever home is under a round window I thought this would look fun!

Step one when buying something used is a good steaming. You never know what lives in someone elses house. Did someone order 200 degree steam?

Don't ask me how, but I found a way to break it! Uggggg! So glue and a time delay!

After 2 days of glue drying and then wood filling and sanding (and of course repeat, repeat, repeat) until it looked good. I could finally get back to sanding the table.

I stained it and noticed I had done a really bad job with the sanding process because I had blotches. So I stripped off the new stain and resanded.

The one thing I know I will get whenever I buy dark cherry lacquered furniture is this rubber crap-like edging. You can't stain it and I wanted the top to be stained. So...I painted it to look like wood & then stained it (I have a criminal mind...)

Here it is with 2 coats of Folk Art Coffee Latte.

I was feeling a little sassy and decided to stress it up with little nail holes and squiggly lines.

The bottom portion gets primed & stressed out in the same fashion as the top

After much debate and color sampling

I chose a very light sage green

The top sanded out beautifully and I love this wood detail

2 coats of minwax Provincial stain

After some slight distressing, I antiqued it using the same stain (check out that edging!)

I love these legs!

Hubby did a little bit of drawer adjusting and Chichilina got in on the act too!

How cute is this knob! I found it at Hobby Lobby for 50% off. Only cost me $2.99 and it matches perfectly.

And here it is all Polyurethaned and in it's forever home

Someday I'll get floors and this will look fabulous! Tell me what you think!
