Harliquin Dream

By Kimberly Marquart in MECHANICSBURG, PA.

This side table started out with heat damage and scratches.  After removing the existing top coat, a good sanding and cleaning, the table top was taped off.  Using the natural color of the wood and General Finishes Gel Stain in Nutmeg was used to create a harliquin pattern.  The base was painted in Valspar Paint in Pure Silk.  The body was distressed by sanding and a coat of General Finishes High Performance Top Coat was applied to the entire piece to give it a good seal.  To add a little more charm, the drawer was lined with decoupaged fabric.
