What a Find!

We have not yet started school this year, which is late for me.  I have yet to purchase all of the school books.  I hope to do this Monday and hopefully start school at the beginning of September.  The kiddos are loving it.  I am loving this fall-like weather we have had for the past two weeks.  I am trying to get a jump on some of my roadside finds.  

I found this end table recently.  This is a pic of it after I cleaned it and my son sanded it.  I actually had started to stain the top when I took this pic.

End tables like these sell at our Amish markets for no less than $125.00.

I stained the top with dark walnut.  I also used Clear and Jacobean wax on the top.

I painted the bottom in Annie Sloan's French Linen and then waxed it with clear and dark wax.

This one is a keeper.  It is going in hubby's office.  

He also wants me to paint the other wing chair in French Linen.

I painted a swatch to see if he would like it.  He would rather me paint the chair than reupholster it.  

Hmmm..... This will be interesting.
