The Finished (Knockoff) Pottery Barn Table

It is finished!  I was all ready to do the staining/painting but my husband went ahead and completed it. He first put a coat of dark stain then wiped it off. When it dried, he then brushed a light coat of black paint and wiped it off.  After sanding it again, instead of putting a coat of polyurethane on it, he put a layer of clear paste wax.  When it dried, it buffed out to a nice shine.

 $100 vs $799!    I kind of like my Pottery Barn knockoff!
