Lots of folks in blog land are adding stripes to furniture, tables, fabric, and all kinds of things. I have added stripes to a couple of items that I want to share with you. This table belonged to my paternal grandmother. I barely remember her. I do remember using this table like a desk as a little girl. It was dark brown. Years later, I started sanding the top and went through multiple layers of paint. Even an old newspaper sheet was underneath all the paint. I had used a stripper though, and the paper was ruined, so I don't know why it was there. When I first started blogging, I was introduced to Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. This table was the first item I painted with it (Olde White). I was getting the feel of the paint and dark wax, and ended up waxing it very heavily. I decided I liked the "stripped" look that the wax brought to the table, so I left it that way. Here is the table before the stripes were added....
