Very clever idea! I like it a lot. Did you use a sealant?

In reply to Jessica Atchison. I wish you had your mom's set too. It was probably in better shape than this set. I wish I had the guts to grab the end tables when I had the chance. gail

Leslie,

Things can go sideways really quick, and then plan b doesn’t quite work either! I appreciate that I keep it real.

In reply to Tina Batori.

Tina,

I appreciate you comment. I was in a time crunch to finish this piece. So, yes I should have gone to the store to get any product that would have made this easier, including but not limited to a pre-stain conditioner.
Too often, I am an impatient, want it done yesterday kind of gal. 🙂

In reply to Cyndi.

Thank you for your kind comment. I prefer to “keep it real” when I struggle with my projects. There are so many things that can go wrong with any DIY makeover. The key is to “not give up”.
