She was in rough shape, but I was in love with the wood inlays and wanted to salvage them if I could. This was after a lot of sanding on the top.
I worked hard to make the wood look great so I could stain it a dark walnut. And although I normally leave only the top dark when I do a two tone look, I wanted to salvage the drawer too...as it had the same pretty inlay. And here she is!
I'm super happy with this one. FYI, paint is BM Cape Cod Gray, distressed and glazed with provencial stain.

STUNNING! What a find. Too bad you couldn't fit the 3rd one in!
Wonderful job on that table! I really like that you kept the detailing on the top and the drawer from being painted. It makes it more unique.
Quite a transformation! This is amazing! I love that you saved the top and drawer!
