Cottage Table Makeover

I have been wanting to make this table over for a while.  It is a little tile top cottage style table bought in the early 90's.  Still stuck in the early 90's, it needed a makeover.  I had originally thought I would paint the legs but that just wasn't enough of a change.  

 I have always wanted a plank table.  I was in the shed the other day trying to imagine some leftover lumber turned into a plank table.  But, then I realized if I removed the top of the tile table I would have the base for my plank top table.  So we removed about a dozen screws and the tile top.  Then we placed two pine panels in their place and I had my plank table.  

 Here the top is stained. I used a walnut stain.

 I roughed up the legs even more than the kids have with the orbital sander.  

Wanting to make the wear more pronounced, I glazed the legs to age them with Valspar glaze in mocha.

Here is the finished table.  I will work on the chairs next.

Just look at the plank goodness!
