Antique Drop Leaf Table

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.

LB on Mar 25, 2014Very nice,,,,, I love the top color, that color is called Java and who make's it? Also, LOVE the owl lamp! Where did you find that beauty? You know owls are very in right now! Also, I am always concerned I am spending to much money on these thrift store finds. Do you have a rule of thumb?
