Finished!

Here she is - ready for sell -
I stole this idea directly from Annie Sloan Paints - I purchased her book - and she had created

one almost identical -  it's really rustic and pretty in person.................

The top was stained in a deep walnut - and there is a high gloss of polyurethane ( 2 coats )
on top - for the shine - and for protection.
The rest of the pc was waxed and hand rubbed - 2 coats -
It has been layered in different colors of paint - and gently distressed.

This pc is so solid ( real maple ) that it will be around for another 100 years..............
Don't you love the curves on the top drawers?

and here's the inspiration photo from Annie's Sloan's book !
