Distressed Pink Sewing Table

My mother-in-law, Nori, found a horribly painted sewing table at a garage sale about 5 or 6 months ago, and she bought it for me.  She knows that I'm always looking for a great piece of furniture to pretty up, and I finally completed the task.

Here is a sort-of before picture.  I already sanded off the 50 layers of ugly yellow on the top.  As you can see, I started to sand it off the remainder, but then I decided I wanted to keep a shabby two-tone look.  I sanded some parts of it bare, and kept a majority of the yellow on (lightly sanded).

And here is the after:

I primed it with a Valspar Primer spray can (light coat) only on the top half.  I wanted more yellow to peak through at the bottom, which with the pictures, you can't even see that well.  The pink paint color is Valspar's "Rosy Cheeks" (3 light coats).

 I let that dry, and the next day I grabbed a coarse piece of sandpaper and really dug into the table, especially along the corners and sides.  Once I had it shabby enough, I used Valspar's Antiquing Glaze.  Voila!

The compartment for the sewing machine was really beat up, and I was not at all interested in repairing.  I'm using it as bedside table, so I simply placed a basket on top of the compartment.

Before and After:

Now excuse me while I clean up the rest of my room. ;)
