Kitchen Table


This was my first kitchen table to paint kettle black.  I have learned a lot about applying high gloss polycrilic on a large flat piece while maintaining a smooth finish. We spent a good amount of time and attention on this piece.  It was hard to let it go since it fit in quite well with my decor.  I had originally stained the distressed areas in colonial maple, but changed to dark walnut to tone down the contrast between the paint and the stain.  The photo below shows the original condition of the table.  It went through quite a transformation!
