My first redo

I have been wanting a new table but it just wasn't a necessity, if you know what I mean. It is a great size and a sturdy table but the colors just weren't me or matched my chairs. So I researched like crazy and decided to redo my table. I remembered to take a before picture while I was sanding it (I guess it just makes it a better "before" picture.)

Before:
After:
After several mistakes and redoing I finally finished my table. I must say I am pretty proud of myself. I now feel confident that I can do another project, maybe my dressers.

Julie- yesterday when I was standing there talking with you I was thinking what a beautiful table you had. In fact I almost asked you where you found it!
Soooo I have a dining room table that I need to re-finish. I am going to have to pick your brain!
