Antique Table with Hidden Leaves and a Bonus Redo

Shayne is hoping to use this table in her basement for games, puzzles and/or crafting. She saw true potential in this table as it has hidden leaves (is it leaves or leafs in this situation?) to make it multi-purpose!

It came to me like this:

The finish was already starting to come off the top, which made it easy to sand away! After sanding, I used the steel wool/vinegar treatment that I used here. It's a fantastic way to get an aged wood look...and fast! After the vinegar treatment, there was still some spots of orangey finish showing through, so 2 coats of white wash took care of that problem. Here is the finished product!

And here is a bonus redo...I didn't quite get a before picture. This is a gorgeous Hammary table that someone took permanent marker to on the top.

That's all for today...but stay tuned. I'm ramping up again..I've got a garage full!
