Ive been plotting out the last act of Elite Ops 3....so naturally, Ive been doing another home project as I think it all through. Heres the latest: My great aunts dining room table built sometime in the 1800s. It may be difficult to see in the picture (#4), but the original dark finish on the table top was a mess. Plus that big split on the left side was terrible. With five leaves, having the entire table repaired and traditionally refinished was too cost prohibitive. (With all five leaves in, the table wont even fit in my living room, much less my dining room). So instead, I used chalk paint with colored wax. The split on the top now rocks the distressed look. This turned into a bigger project than Id originally intended, but Ive gotten a lot of writing (and plotting) done in the process. The table is open today (#2), drying the last coat of polyurethane. I can hardly wait for it to be dry!
