It may not seem like much to you, but let's look back at where we began.
An improvement, don't you think?

Thank you Cindy! I am pretty sure I have a photo saved in my idea file of your coffee table that is cream with a dark top sitting in front of your turquoise sofa.

Um, wow...this is gorgeous! Been following your blog for a while. Had to let you know how beautiful the table and chairs turned out. Want to come on over and take care of a few old pieces for me?

Just plain beautiful! I know you must be thrilled. Jackie

I love it! I am looking for a round pedestal table for our breakfast room to do something similar too! Love the aqua! Great job!

Quite, quite wonderful!!

Wow, it's beautiful!! It may have been a real pain, but what wonderful results in the end!!!

Amazing! It looks great!

What an amazing transformation! You have a great eye to perform a miracle like that! I know from reading your other posts it wasn't easy - but I'm glad you persisted, the results are stunning!

Aweeeeee so much better!! Aqua make the world a better place!

This is an amazing transformation! Great color choices. I especially love the sheen of the tabletop.
Posted by: Elke | August 17, 2010 at 11:56 PM
Wow!! I love it! It doesn't look like the same table, well done for persevering xx

Awesome!
Seems the vinegar and rusty metal did the job on the table top. You persevered and made something you and your family will enjoy for many years.
Thanks for sharing the before and after photos.
Well done!
Peace.

It turned out beautifully - even if you have scared me off ever trying to refinish furniture...

Thank you. It was a pain, but sort of like childbirth, Ive put it out of my mind.
Posted by: Autum | August 18, 2010 at 08:56 AM
Thank you Susan!

Thank you Lydia. No, it wasnt easy, and much of it was my own fault. I learned many lessons, the biggest being dont get in a hurry and try to skip steps.
Posted by: Autum | August 18, 2010 at 08:59 AM
Ha ha, doesnt it though. Everything is better with a little aqua : )
Posted by: Autum | August 18, 2010 at 09:00 AM
Thank you Elke. It is a satin finish and isnt supposed to have much sheen. It isnt super glossy but does reflect a lot of light. I like the contrast between the slick top and the distressed legs. Im happy with it.
