This table is a part of a set of nesting tables. 

My mother-in-law bought them at a garage sale, $7 for the pair.

    I remember she was so proud of them, and the price she paid! 

    I refinished them for her many years ago. 

    When she passed away they were given to our family. 

    The tables have since been in need of a new finish, what with moving a few times with them, along with the usual wear a piece of furniture takes on. 

    I decided to refinish one at the moment.

    This table is incredibly solid! I started the refinishing process by sanding the top.

    I then, stenciled a lovely flower design on the bare wood.  I used an off white, satin finish latex paint.  

    The table was stained with espresso colored stain. 

    When the stain was dry, I applied a couple coats of polyurethane, sanding between the application process of the polyurethane.

    I love the sweet touch adding this stenciled embellishment gives!  What do you think?  Have you thought about refinishing a piece of your furniture?
