Garden Party Table

For my daughter's first birthday I wanted to do something beautiful and special!  I decided on a vintage garden party theme complete with amber depression glass centerpieces, butterflies, and pinwheels made from K&Company Handmade Garnish paper.  When I found this sweet little library table I thought it would be so cute in a little girl's bedroom set up and ready for a garden tea party with dolly.  After some sanding down of rough edges, 3 coats of Annie Sloan Old White chalk paint (I can't seem to get the Old White paint to cover over a darker surface {at least to my satisfaction} with any less than 2 coats.) and some distressing with a fine grit sanding block the piece was looking good but not complete.  I decided to purchase a yard of lace and a can of Design Master: Prairie Grass spray paint from our local Joann's Fabrics and painted the inner circle of the table top.  After the piece was dry I gave the whole piece a coat of clear Briwax.  Now it is a perfect table for a little girl and her favorite baby doll to have some "tea" and cookies!

Hard to believe this was a year and a half ago!  The birthday girl and her pretty little cake!
