French Provincial Coffee table with Stained Top and Warm White Base

French Provincial coffee table gets a beautiful makeover. Stained top and warm white base is always classic and can go in almost any home decor.

This particular coffee table was part of a trio purchased from an estate sale. The two accent tables were done in a similar color to match the oval coffee table previously done.

First step is to scrub then the top was chemically stripped with stripper and wiped with mineral spirits to remove and residual stripper.

I love when spring arrives so I can haul pieces out to sand outdoors. It seems my dog was pretty happy with the weather too ;)

I love wood and the grain that is revealed after these steps.

The trio had all the same steps (above left is before sanding and above right is after staining) then General Finishes antique walnut gel stain applied.

The color is so rich and lovely

Next I added 4 coats of General Finishes high performance top coat in flat finish with my angled Zibra brush (I won in their Christmas giveaway) for a beautiful durable finish that enhances the gorgeous grain.

Onto the base, Dixie Belle Paint in drop cloth was brushed on with their handy natural bristled paint brush. See it here on this antique dresser with dark stained top
