This bistro table originally had a plain wooden top, and four wire legs.  I filled and sealed the wood, then painted it white, with a faux lace edging.  On top of that, I stenciled a design in variegated shades of blue.  Then I varnished it with several coats of a tinted gloss, sanding in between.  I replaced the legs with a central pedestal that I painted blue with a black glaze.  I then made the box cushion chair pads to match.
