It pays to have wonderfully gifted artistic friends. Especially ones that paint you pictures of your first home together as wedding gifts. Thank you Catherine! I {heart} it! :)
NICE. That is awesome to have and will be esp. in the years to come. :) Prep for the table. All I did was sand the top (by hand) which took FOREVER. So I didn't sand the rest of the table or the chairs. I used a wood paint (Micheals for about $4) and it took about 3 coats, but it dried really fast. It started to dry all wierd at first so I freaked a little, but then when it sat for a bit it turned out fine. It looks nice. The chairs took awhile since they have all the spindles and stuff but the results were worth it. Happy Painting! :) What are you painting?
