The table was inexpensive and I could never find a place for it; it was just too dark and blah. I used 2 coats of Old White ASCP. I used a french label from The Graphics Fairy. I enlarged the image and printed the image on Lesley Riley's Transfer Artist Paper. I think I used the iron too long and transfer was yellowed. Soooo...I got a little crazy with sandpaper. Once I sanded the image, I was committed to sanding the table. I applied silver leaf on the dark brass medallions on the front of the table. I used Annie Sloan clear wax, then her dark wax. Some more sanding. And repeat wax sequence.
Et voila!
...and yes, my dining room walls are painted a watermelon red. My house looks like a crayon box; soft green living room, french blue kitchen, provence yellow in the family room, etc. :-)
