...and others.
With the daunting task of extending my dining room wall and building a plate rack for the plate collection over, I can move on to other things that have been pending.

| Wood accent table in the middle. |
A couple of months ago on one of my junking finds, I bought this little accent table. It was stained a dark cherry and grungy. What I like is that it has a display top with a glass. I can do a number of things with it. My daughter-in-law, who is a very creative school teacher, cut out some paper snowflakes which I thought of using under the glass. I also thought of a french script fabric under it. How about a photo collage of my family? I can do all that as the mood strikes me. Right now I opted for a pathwork look. Using leftover scraps, I used them to create a fabric display under the glass. I think this little table can take it!

| Cutting fabric to size of glass. |
 |
| Sanding after stripping and cleaning. |
I assembled the fabric to create the look I wanted and cut the fabric strips to size. I then folded the borders and ironed them down to create a crease. I used a glue stick to keeps ends down and ironed everything again. Using leftover wallpaper to form a template, I then glued it to the fabric.

| Adding stripper according to instructions on can and making sure to wear gloves. |

I wanted to keep the table stripped to a natural wood in order to match it up to the french bergère chair and the cocktail table.
 |
| Pre paste wax and buffing. |

|
 |
| I used the patchwork border on this wall hanging a couple of months ago. |
 |
| Double sided curtains from which some of the remnants were taken. |
I kept it a little chippy and with a little paste wax and buffing, they'll make a good pair, rather trio!
 |
| The little table and the chair will be getting a little white wash burnish on raised edges, like the Crate and Barrel cocktail table. Stay tuned (umm, connected). |
 |
| This is the little table that can do a lot! |
|
I can't wait to see what else I can come up with to put under the glass! Have any ideas?
I wish everyone a truly healthy, blessed and prosperous year. Remember, all things are possible if you Believe!
