I will sand it down and put the light blue on top of it, sand it some and see how it looks. If it still looks too dark, then I will sand some more and add a coat of white. It will be the table of many colors and Dolly can write a new song! :-)Benitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02712521705008463049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-758780567770747669.post-90150524300853483312015-09-29T13:12:43.516-05:002015-09-29T13:12:43.516-05:00Can't wait to see how the table turns out.
