Table Makeover

This was a Coffee Table I Got through the Classifieds.
Found it Online,
and Asked (Begged?) for it for Christmas.

These are what I used to Sand the Table.
Its 60 Grit 

After Sanding.
Note: I Didn't take All the Finish off,
Just Scratched it Enough to Give it some Gripping Power for the Paint.
After Sanding, I always wipe things Off with a Wet Paper Towel.

Primed.
I Used "High Hiding Primer"
it was What I had on Hand

[I Had a Scratching and Priming Buddy]

This is What I used to Sand Between my coats of Paint.
Then wipe off with a Wet Paper Towel.

These are the Paint Brushes I used for this Project.
I wanted to avoid the brush strokes of a Paint Brush,
but needed something to get in all those cracks!
And? I Didn't feel Guilty throwing them Away!

Two Coats of Paint.
Sanding in Between Coats with the "Between Coats" Sanding block

Then, Before Doing My Final Tops Coats,
(Glaze and Polycrylic)
I sanded it with this,
(and then Wiped it Down with wet paper Towel)
It gives it a Smooooooth Finish.

This is My Tintable Glaze.
This is What I use to put all the Dark Spots,
and Details on My Table.
It Comes Clear,
Mine is Tinted to
"Fired Earth" by Valspar.

For the Glaze:

Work in a Small Area,

I used a Foam Brush and Brush the Glaze on,

then took a wet paper towel and removed it-

keeping it darker where I wanted it darker,

and removing most of the glaze where I wanted it Lighter.

You can always add more, if You decide to later!

This is the Polycrylic,
I always put a coat or two on at the End.

The Color that I used,

was Called

"Secluded Garden" by Valspar in Satin Finish.

Oh, and the Crystal Knobs.

LOVE the Crystal Knobs.

I Used the Same Steps that I used in
