Antique Coffee Table

Isn't it always fun to be given free furniture?  I was happy to get this one~

The top was so beat up, but it cleaned up nicely after it was stripped, sanded and stained.

I used Old White CP for the base.  The plan was to dry brush it on, but my brush happened to be a little wet, so I did sort of a wet/dry brushing application.  :)  I just kept my brush wet with a teeny bit of water and brushed on super small amounts of paint.  I probably only used  about a tablespoon of paint on the entire table.

I sealed the base with 2 coats of Minwax Paste Wax~

I haven't been using the Minwax wax lately, but I really loved how quickly it dries and is ready to be buffed.  The Annie wax seems to take much longer...but that's just me.  :)

The top of the table got 3 coats of Tung Oil~

Here's my freebie before picture~

Now it's all cute and ready for a new living room~
