While we were moved out of our home for 7 weeks I took on a project. Our dining room table was that horrible outdated golden (orangy) oak color, so I brought out my trusty spray paint and MinWax Mahogany Gel Stain. I still need to put on a varnish to protect the finish, but for now...here is the before & after.
Before
I want to get a round piece of glass cut to sit on top of the table to protect it. There is a leaf that we use a couple times a yr, but the majority of the time we just keep it how it is.

Looks wonderful and the black really stands out with the finish. I bet this was a lot of work; but now it's over and looky.......what you have and done.

GORGEOUS! I'm a big fan of black paint, and it really gave your table a fresh look. Great job!

That table came out great. I have a big oval table with legs like that and I mentioned doing the bottom black and staining the top darker. My hubby always says no way so I will have to show him yours.
