Today we are featuring a beautiful 1940s table makeover.
Just in time for summer dining, this antique table was picked up in pieces.
I didn't even know if it would all fit together, but luckily, the prior owners were so nice
as to tape the hardware in a plastic baggie onto the legs.
Here is where the table began:
The legs were sanded down and then painted with Ben Moore paint and underbody.
I used White Chocolate again.
Then the legs were distressed and attached to the table top for a fitting!
She then had to be flipped over, sanded, primed and painted, distressed, and waxed on top.
I have worked on these antique tables before... they feature a wonderful
stow-away leaf.
And here she is again all freshened up for summer.
Beautiful antique turned legs..
I'll be linking up this weekend with:

What a splendid table and love your makeover!! I now wonder if a table I saw has a hidden leaf! I must find out and maybe bring it home with me. :)

Beautiful Andrea! I'm loving the white chocolate paint.

How wonderful that you were able to save this beauty. Love the new white paint. :)
Beautiful transformation and gorgeous legs!
What a great save! I just love old wood:) This just turned out so perfect and with your ideas for summer, it will be so patriotic:) Thank you for your visit and I am popping over to meet you. I am now following via Linky. I would also love to invite you to share this great project at Freedom Fridays tomorrow:) Have a simply marvelous weekend!
I'm so glad I stopped by your blog today because your project has given me courage to paint my table. I have a table just like yours except the curved part attached to the legs is not curved on mine. I have wanted to paint it for a long time but was hesitant to cover the old dark stain. Yours looks great so I am going ahead and painting mine. Thanks for the inspiration. If you are interested, link it up to my GRILL, BBQ and PICNIC PARTY now until Sat. night. There is a $25 giveaway. Hope you will come.-------Shannon
You took a dull looking table and made it a treasure! Job well done. . .
I'm impressed! It looks really great. You did a fabulous job on the finish.
I just used Benjami Moore's White Chocolate on my walls in my office! It's a great color!
love it and really love how you set up the look,made a great impression...My little chair I linked would look great with your red white and blue
Beautiful vignette!

I found your blog through Miss Mustard Seed....
Thank you so much for posting this makeover - it looks fantastic. I have almost the same table sitting in my garage - trying to decide it I should refinish it or paint it. After seeing yours - I think I'll paint : )
I plan on using it for the kids to play games etc.
Great job!

Oh Andrea, what a beauty she is. I love the turned legs. You did such a great job. The vignette you created on top is darn cute. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup.

What an amazing save! That table definitely deserves another life. I am so drawn to that cute Swedish looking pillow. Beautifully done!
