It's the table from a few post ago.
I honestly can't tell you exactly how many layers of primer, gesso, and paint I applied to this one. A little dry brushing, a little dripping, and here you go.
After I finished painting, the top just seemed too plain to me. So, remember the netting stencil I used here? I did the same thing with a 50 cent synthetic table cloth, and got this design.
After stenciling, I did some dry brushing and sanding on top.
I love the way it turned out. What do you think?

I think your table looks great. Good job. What is funny, I have one just like it in my shop for sale. I bought it already painted. It is just plain white. Yours looks cuter. Richard at My Old historic House

what a beautifully delicate piece. The opposite end of the spectrum from what I do and I so appreciate this style. It's soft yet bold. I love it.
You've got talent!!!!! lol

The "before" table looks way past its prime but your "after" is just gorgeous. You do an amazing job to give furniture (and all kinds of things) a whole new lease on life in a stylish way.
