Kitchen table project

I've been looking all over for a kitchen table to refinish. And I was thankfully given one that would work perfectly with my vision. 

I wanted it to be rustic and farm like, so I sanded down the whole top to stain a dark color. The base was painted with chalk paint and then distressed a bit. 

The chairs were a bit of a pain but I sanded the seat and stained them then painted the rest with chalk paint. 

I love the turn out!! 

Started with this.. Very light top color and black base.

Three coats of a dark cherry stain and chalk paint.

Then poly'd and in the kitchen!
