Here is the lovely Buffet table I bought from my friend Jeannie, who had bought it from Brenda...

 It was a light oak color with a few imperfections.  But I had visions for this baby...

 I first stripped and sanded the top and stained it with dark walnut stain and topped with polyurethane satin.

 Then painted two coats of Annie Sloan Arles.

 Then topped it with clear and dark waxes.

 Wa La! Here is the final product, just as I had envisioned it!

Isn't she a beauty? Erin I hope you enjoy this....
