I'm slowly turning my home into shabby chic too. I just finished a dining room set.......and SO MUCH WORK! But worth it because I love it! I purchased it for $100.00 at a thrift store and I've seen them in little shops for $700.00. Now I know why! Lots of work! I just found you from “Soft Place to Land” and LOVE that table!
