I’m finished! After much sanding and staining and priming and painting and distressing and poly-ing! I”M DONE!
Here she is BEFORE:
My first staining job! I love it!
I used Glidden Antique White in Satin for the white and Minwax Dark Walnut stain on the top. I also sprayed the hardware with Oil Rubbed Bronze. I love how it turned out.
Do you like it?

August 27, 2011 at 1:57 pmDid you put any thing over the stain on top? Like a finish? It has more of a glossier look, which I love!
