Here she is:
i. love. it.
Can you believe the top? Originally I wasn't a huge fan of all the inlays, but when I finished staining, I fell in love. There are actually three kinds of wood in the top of the table. We coated the top with a satin sheened polyurethane, and I'm so glad we didn't choose glossy. It has a KIND of natural feel about it, and I love that.
So here are some before and after pics

| Lovely natural stained top and distressed heirloom white Oh... There was this point in the middle of staining where this thought process entered my mind. "Hmmm... I REALLY hope this is how I'm supposed to do this. Maybe I should have read the directions. No.... surely no self respecting DIY-er reads the directions..." (My husband informs me this is certainly NOT the case).  |
