I wanted to share with you this sweet little table that was recently given to me. It was my parents and they picked it up from an Estate sale many, many years ago. I have such fond memories of this piece. I can remember it in my parents house from when I was a little girl and always thinking how pretty it was. I would hide little notes in the drawers any chance I could get! My father passed away this past February so this piece will always be near and dear to my heart. I am very excited to now have a piece of my childhood in my own home! :)
With that being said, it did have some of the veneer missing on it. This is very common with pieces of this age. I knew I was going to have to paint it and originally thought about using wood filler in those areas for a smooth finish but I didn't want this piece to look at all new. I wanted it to look old with loads of character! So, I didn't repair anything and just started painting....
I used a dark wax to pick up on all of the details and I love how it looks where the veneer is missing!
The top of the table was in excellent condition so I left it alone. I'm so glad that I could keep a part of the original details!
