I present to you, the sister table! She was finished like the other round side table except the top was sanded, stained and sealed with poly. The wood was too beautiful to paint.
Sometimes the decision must be NOT to paint!
Products Used
Legs: Annie Sloan Chalk Paint -Duck Egg; Clear and Dark Wax
Top: Kona Stain; Clear Satin Poly by Sherwin Williams
The Makeover of Table #2

| She's the table on the right |
 |
| The top was really rough, but had so much potential |
I started by sanding the top. I sand outside for the most part, because I would rather not add to the dust inside my house. Sanding the top went pretty easily, but getting into the scalloped edge took some work.

| Love the color variation |
 |
| Filled most of the groove with wood filler. |
At the point of using wood filler for the groove, I had not committed to a stain color. In retrospect, I probably could have left it alone since I went with a dark stain. I just cannot get enough of the table top after sanding. The colors are just so beautiful.
The table legs were cleaned, painted and waxed. The dark mahogany stain had seen better days. The chalk paint just gives her a whole new life. Here are the table legs before and after.
For the table top, I chose a dark stain to go with the light colored paint. A lighter stain color would probably show off the wood a little better, but I was going for the contrast.
