I say, yes, add a little distressing to the piece. Nothing dramatic- just enough to add some character and interest. Then use a little tiny bit of the dark wax once you've waxed the entire piece.

Shiny and polished, rustic and chalky, and everything in between. I like to take a little bit of paint off in areas of natural wear to add character and personality to my pieces ... how much I rub off depends on how I feel at the time and what the piece tells me to do. What you DON'T want to do it do random patchy sanding, because that is a sure sign of a crappy job. You're around enough antique furniture to know what true patina looks like ... make your table look like that.<br /><br />I love how the paint brings out the carved details that were lost before you painted it. Nice job, Cass, dear!Connie in Hartwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09127877285792861166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-29373449746067043182012-05-09T12:13:07.926-04:002012-05-09T12:13:07.926-04:00I like the table and hope I remember to check out ...I like the table and hope I remember to check out the finished lookCurtains in My Treehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739180504953135365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5072219918314541508.post-77482011399106179512012-05-09T12:08:10.965-04:002012-05-09T12:08:10.965-04:00Hi Cass!
