Farmhouse Table

The workshop is still humming here and so are the paintbrushes!
 I just finished this sweet farmhouse style table and dropped it off at the shop....

It's an antique maple table which was in really sturdy shape when I found it months ago.
It's been languishing in my garage until now.

There is probably a "before" pic somewhere but maybe not...
I've been trying to learn to snap a pic of everything I bring home, whether I am starting on it or not.
Because you know how it is.....you get inspired....you get excited....you start to work....and then...you slap your forehead and realize you didn't take a pic.......sorry.....

This was an instance of bleed through issues too. I sanded it to give it some "tooth" then used ASCP Pure White.....bleed through.....

So, I had to prime it with a latex primer first. 
Then I removed most of it before adding the graphic to the top....
I almost left it natural like the Tea Chest End Tables, but then really liked the stripped white paint look I was getting!

I made my own just using stencils and paint......

I finished it off with clear wax......

I love it.......

What do you think?
