Faithful Table

It has been around for a number of years...at least from the early 50's.. It followed us north to Alaska, back to Texas, north to North Dakota, and now back to Texas.  If it could talk.  When it lived at my grandmother's house, each spring she would give it a coat of varnish, so it was almost black when it came to live with me.  Natural wood was in style back then, so I stripped and stripped to get it down to the wood.  Yes, it is oak. 

But now before and after is the trend.  And I do like some of the afters.  One thing to remember, the paint will always come off.  Here is it's transformation. I do like the way it turned out.
