I sanded the top down with our hand sander using 80 grit. Someone had used an 8 penny nail to reattach the front leg. We removed that and countersunk a screw. Then Dave used his nail sets and reset the small nails into the other legs. I filled all of the holes and cracks with wood filler and sanded the top once again after the filler dried for 24 hours. Then I used Minwax stain in Early American on the top. I had some of the White Chocolate chalk paint left from the tv stand so I dry brushed some of that onto the bottom leaving some of the wood to show through. Then I let it dry once again for 24 hours. I finished it with the Minwax finishing paste and here is the end result.
I am pretty happy with it. I just need to figure out the perfect place for it.
