My last post was about how I fixed a missing piece of trim off of an old pie crust table using Bondo Auto Body Filler. Today I want to show you the results after it got a little paint.
Ta-da!
I used General Finishes Milk Paint in Linen and added a few stencils around the top. I'm not a huge fan of stenciling furniture, but this top definitely needed a little dressing up. I waxed it using MMS White Wax and it gave it a gorgeous sheen with a slight whitewash look.
Not the greatest photos...I'm currently at the mercy of natural lighting and I don't think
the sun is ever coming back!

Here is a closer view of the repair. Sure, it's not perfect, but since it's going to be used in my own home, I am very happy with it.
I love those legs!
The honey oak floors...not so much....
I want to share with you how it looks back up in the guest bedroom, but it started a domino effect and I began moving things around - so that will be another post in the near future.
As far as the repair, Dean was very impressed with me and suggested that I go into the auto body repair business. Yeah...probably not. I'll stick with furniture for now. :)
'til next time!
