I think this table is so adorable! And I especially love the long, skinny, spindly legs. The go out at a slight angle and, this is super weird, but remind me of a baby giraffe when they are first trying to walk. See. Completely told you it was weird.
Anyway, General Finishes always provides me with fantastic products. (Seriously, this is with out a doubt my absolute fave paint and believe me, I have tried a lot of different kinds.)
For this table I used GF's Gel Stain in Java. I honestly am such a novice when it comes to staining, but am thrilled with the results and I love how some of the age of the table still came through. When it was dry, I gave it a couple of coats of PolyAcrylic to further protect the piece.
I absolutely love two toned furniture so I opted to paint the legs and base of the table and lightly distress. I used GF's milk paint in Linen.
