Rose Stained Table and Antique Chairs Makeover

1 Material
I picked up this table and chairs free on the curb.
I sanded the chairs completely and painted with antique white chalk paint then waxed them.
I sanded the table top and painted the edge to match the chairs
I drew my rose on the table top and started shading.
I went back over with a darker stain as I felt it was too light. After the stained dried I put 3 coats of poly acrylic on top.
I reupholstering the chairs.
This is the finished table
This is the finished table showing a base I had held on to forever! It looked perfect.
Suggested materials:
  • Stain, chalk paint, poly acrylic

    The table is beautiful. Is the rose a transfer of some sort or did you draw it yourself. If you drew it I haven't a hope as I'm useless at drawing lol
