LOVE. IT. Â 🙂 Â Great job, Rebecca!
Not perfect? It’s perfectly beautiful! I love it!
YOU. DID. IT!!! Yay It looks so great. You should be so proud. I am very jealous of the set and how it turned out. Are you going to keep it?
This is INCREDIBLY fantastic! You’re attention to detail is wonderful! I would pay serious bucks in a store get this gorgeous piece in my home! Congratulations on a lovely job well done 😀
Yes, I want to know how. And here is a crazy question. Why do you wax something after it is painted? See I told you it was a crazy question. The table and chairs are BEAUTIFUL.
Absolutely, positively gorgeous!!!
This is incredible. You are right above me at Sunday Showcase. I’m dying to know how you did this and what you used…
Absolutely, wonderfully beautiful!! What a great job you have done on this dining set Rebecca, it looks so good in your dining area, much better than the black set you (pawned off on) gave to Freebird! Just joking I know she’s loving hers! Now what about that rug?? Great job! Take care, VBg
PS Boy, was I off on my guess!
Great job!! Nicely done! xo

Fantastic transformation. I love the contrast. It really makes a statement. Well done.

What a great job! I am starting to see a lot of furniture being redone with stained tops and cream everything else!! I am loving it. I am now looking at a china cupboard in my Den and thinking……..
Hugs,
Debbie

That turned out so nicely! The chunky lines in the “before” were deceiving to how the “after” looks. You did a wonderful job.
Fantastic! Your table and chairs look so gorgeous!
It looks absolutely beautiful. I love the contrast between the dark table top and the antiqued white finish… lovely!
Looks great! I’m on the hunt for a dining set to paint for our cottage right now. Can’t wait to try out painting it. I really like the carving details on yours.
