Lost Treasure...

I feel so bad. I have had a piece of furniture in my house that I forgot to show off. I refinished it a few years ago. The very first piece that I ever finished with stain and  {spray} paint. This was originally my grandmother's, but then Dad adopted it, and now she's comfortably hiding DS games and accessories along with various Wii items.

I don't have any pictures of before, but the back shows off the original finish. You can see some of the over spray....oops. :)

I added legs to the table to make it a bit taller. The back legs are just parsons legs that I had to cut down, and the front are turned bun feet.

I got the glass handles from Target. I love me some Target.

The top is finished in Early American by Minwax, and then the whole thing is poly'ed. I put 6 coats of poly on the top, and yes, I know that is a bit excessive, but the boys have not been able to dent it.  :)

The paint is American Traditions Heirloom White. I haven't been able to find this color for a while, but Antique White by Valspar is nice and a close match. The darker finish on this piece hid all of the wonderful architectural elements of this piece. The lighter color really brings them out.

There is a lot of love on this piece. The poly is yellowing a bit, and there is grime in some of the corners that I can't get out, and I don't even want to begin to guess what it is, but the boys have not been able to chip it all (that's not saying the movers didn't). This has been a very versatile piece....its resided in our entry and the family room and the sun room. The white goes with anything!

Have a great day and enjoy!
