Grain Sack Drop Leaf Table

 

I picked up this drop leaf table from a garage sale a few weeks back, actually it was my fourth grade teacher's garage sale pretty weird right?  She said she remembered me too, but I was painfully shy in grade school, so I'm thinking teacher's probably just say that, how can they possibly remember all their students.

Anyway it only took a few days to get inspired on this one.  I thought it is perfect for the trendy grain sack look that is so in right now, that I couldn't wait to get started.  

I probably should have had some patience though because I used painter's tape for the lines, but upon removing it, it had bled under the tape and looked pretty terrible, so I had to go back and sand and paint, and wait and tape and a bit more carefully paint the stripes, AGAIN.  

I'm not sure why it bled, but I had to buy more tape and maybe its was better or newer, I know I was more careful and used a dryer brush, but I actually thought I did that pretty good the first time, well anyway it turned out a little more perfect the second time around for whatever reason.

Here it is as it looked as Mrs, Richtor's...

And after...

Here it is with the leaves dropped...

How cute is it with my tub chairs...

It also has a leaf(not shown) so it makes out to 65" long.

Thanks for stoppin'
