Antique night table lightened up

 I rescued this night table from the trash.  It has great bones and is solid.  Although it looked original, at a closer look I could see that veneer had been repaired and a new stain and polyurethane was put on top. It was uneven in areas. So I sanded off the top to reveal the original veneer. 


After giving the top new stain and polyurethane, I set off to lighten the dark stain.  Using chalk paint, clear wax, and antiquing wax, the front and sides were complete. It’s ready for a new home.
