Tonight after 2 weeks we were finally able to eat at our newly painted table--hooray!
My parents brought down their old(er) oak table a few months back for us and we decided to paint it to match our kitchen. Little did we know or expect that it would take so stinkin' long:)
This table took 6 coats--primer, 2 coats black, 20,000 touch-ups with black;) and 2 coats of a sealant---wow! BUT.....we are very grateful we were given a table -thanks mom and dad--and we now have a new appreciation for those in wood working/painting/sanding/manual labor--Greg and I decided no more projects for awhile--esp. since we have 2 birthdays coming up 10 days apart....I am now officially in birthday mode:) Let the games begin.....

The table looks great. I love how shiny it is. Good job!
It does look very pretty! We painted ours black too. after all that work i ended up buying a clear plastic cover at hobby lobby and stapling it underneath because all the food stuck to the table and when i scrubbed it hard, the paint started fading/chipping. you all are probably neater than us though :)
