Grammy's Table

My great grandmother had this awesome table that swizzles and turns to full size and half size. I've had it for years and while it's super cool, it's not very pretty anymore. I've been wanting to paint it forever but didn't know where to start. I finally took the project on when my mom was in town to help with Rory while I worked. I love how it turned out but I might reprint the top 'cause I'm not sure I like the antiqued top. I would also like to give it a shinier finish when I find the time.

After the cakes cooled, I wrapped each one and put them in the freezer over night. Thursday: When I started to assemble the cake I used my twirly cake decorator and I like to tape a cake boa...
