I found this when I scored the big haul at the flea market a few weeks back. It was loaded w/ white paint and embellished w/ a poor attempt at decorative painting. It got a good stripping w/ Citrastrip which BTW was a huge pain in the ass you know what.

| The top had the same pretty floral motif as the shelf. The legs were adorned w/ this garland like thingie. |
After the big boring somewhat therapeutic stripping....I stained the top w/ Minwax Dark Walnut, painted it w/ a pretty blue oops paint, distressed and used the stain again on the distressed areas. Ahhhh much better!

What a cutie! I love that color, and I really like the way the fabric looks with it, too!
This was a great transformation! I love the color and its contrast to the wood finish on the top. I bought my first 2 quarts of chalk paint today- I look forward to no sanding or priming! Visiting from Linda's party.
