Find an old table that needs a makeover. Wipe down the table to remove any dirt or oil. (NOTE: No need to sand before painting.)
With a medium round brush, paint the entire surface of the table, excluding the top, with Romance. Allow to dry.
Paint on a second coat and allow to dry completely.
Mask off stripes of any width on the top of the table. (I did not measure spacing; just placed tape where I wanted the stripes to be.)
Paint alternating lines on the table top with Carbon and a medium round brush. Allow to dry.
Paint on second coat of for even coverage. Remove the tape.
Allow to dry completely.
Mask off the Carbon stripes and begin to paint alternating lines using Lace. Allow to dry. Apply a second coat for even coverage.
Remove the tape and allow to dry.
Mask off each table leg with masking tape approximately halfway up. With a makeup sponge, dab on Gold to create a faux "dipped" metallic leg. Allow to dry.
Dab Gold around the trim of the table. Allow to dry.
Paint Gold with a medium round brush onto the previously dabbed areas. Apply an even coverage and allow to dry.
Remove the masking tape. (Tip: For a clean line, score the line along the edge of the tape with a craft knife before removal.)
With a 2" chip brush, drag Keepsake across the Romance-painted surface.
Leave some of the Romance paint peeking through for a textured look.
Allow the paint to dry completely. With a clean, soft cloth (a piece of old t-shirt works perfectly), apply Clear Crème Wax. Allow to dry and buff with another clean piece of soft cloth. (Applying Crème Wax allows for a sturdier, fingerprint free table.)
Enjoy.
