| When I found this Pine Coffee Table it was painted heavily, and would require stripping to do what I wanted to do with it. Sorry no before pictures. After I applied my stripper THREE times, the paint was finally off!! I also needed to sand it with sandpaper and went over it with steel wool as well. I painted the bottom half of table with Annie Sloan's Chalk paint in Graphite. I rubbed on an Antique Stain on top, letting it dry between coats. |

| The French Advertisement was downloaded from Graphic Fairy, and I had it enlarged at staples. I colored the back of the enlarged print with Oil Pastel Chalk. I then turned it over and centered it in the middle of the table, and went over the letters with a Pencil pressing with medium force. When I was done I lifted the Print, and below were the transferred letters. I hand painted the Advertisement with a mixture of Black Acrylic and Black Latex paint. I applied two more coats of Antique Stain. After that was dry I applied a clear layer of Polyurethane on the top. |

| I love the weathered look of the pine with all it's nicks, made all the more visible by the stain. |
 |
| A great table you would not be afraid to put your feet up on! |
