Farm Side Table - this table was an auction purchase. It was made of solid pine. After sanding I painted the legs and sides white and dark stained the top. Love how it turned out.

Another piece I finished this week was an antique round top trunk. After scrubbing it throughly with a TSP product, I painted it one coat of white. When dry I sprayed the metal with a metal primer as well as shellac to keep rust from showing through. Then I repainted it white. Next I stained using a paste wax. I don't like it real dark and I discovered a Clorox wipe is perfect to remove excess wax for just the look I want. Next I repapered using craft papers and clue. Next I sealed the paper with Mod Podge. I love how it looks. The final step is to use an old belt for new handles. 

$100
