Once the paint has dried thoroughly, take a damp cloth and wipe over the raised carving leaving paint in the recesses.

** UPDATE: I just wanted to say hello and thanks to all of you who are visiting from Pinterest! It appears this particular pin has gotten a lot of love. Since I finished this table makeover around 2 years ago, it's still holding up great. The table doesn't get a ton of heavy use, although I've since applied two extra coats of wax for good measure. And now back to your regularly scheduled blog reading! ** Seven months. That's how long it's been since my last blog post. Whoops! There's been…

Gaston
Gaston was named with inspiration from Beauty and the Beast...as it is a beauty...but it was a beast to repair. I know there was a great debate between my followers on whether Gaston should be painted or not, and then not long after Miss Mustard Seed also came out with a post about painting Vs. not painting furniture.

The Guest Bedroom Side Tables
The two side tables I have in our guest bedroom were originally used in my son’s bedroom at our old house. They are wood and are sturdy pieces. The knobs need to be replaced and they need a paint job, not only because they are worn and scratched, but because the pine finish just doesn’t go in our new home. I decided to go with ASCP French Linen on the base of both and use a gel stain that I can put right over the top {without stripping or sanding} to darken the tops to a nice dark walnut…
