After sanding and priming, I used two coats on Martha Stewart's Spanish Moss (love that name), following by a white glaze (just a bit of white paint mixed into clear glaze). Yes, I'm loving the look of white glaze right now. It gives a really soft pretty look!
Now all you need is a reading lamp and a stack of good books and you're all set!
