So, this is what the table looked like before...
I used the Miniwax spray stain.
Spray on your 1st coat and allow it to dry for two hours. Then after the two hours spray on a second coat. After the four hours are over, the stain did not look dark enough for me.
See what I mean. It doesn't look any darker from the 1st coat.
So, I thought of a show I watch that comes on MPT on Saturday mornings call "She's Crafty" or something of that sort. She showed how to make a stain by watering down some brown Acrylic paint. To apply, use a old piece of cloth and dab it on the furniture to give it an antique look
Once I did that, I was really impressed. That technique made it look like an old table. When the paint dries, spray a sealer on it so the table can keep its look.
Annnnnd here is the table. I think I did a really good job.
