Goodwill Faux Silver Leaf Table

I've been obsessing over silver leaf furniture for a while now but never had the nerve to try to do a project.   Last week while in Goodwill I spied this table (I apologize for the grainy camera phone photo). 

Priced at $10 it was so in my budget and I love anything with a cabriole leg.  At the time I made myself leave the store and not take it home because I knew my husband would hate it (he hates anything old and I adore everything old!).  I kept thinking about that table and since we don't currently have a coffee table I decided a couple days later that I'd see if it was still there.  It was still there!!! no other goodwill shoppers could see that this table had style:)  Lucky me!!!! So anyway I decided I wanted to silver leaf if but I was still a little unsure of using the silver leaf sheets since the table had some grooves in it and curvy legs and I didn't want to mess this beauty up.  I decided to use paint on it instead.  While I was looking at the silver leafing supplies I stumbled upon this really pretty paint that I decided to use instead

I really loved that it was so soft and shimmery and at $5.99 it was a great deal.  I first gave the table a good sanding with my husbands sander, then I primed it with Krylon's Indoor/Outdoor spray primer in Gray.  I then painted on the metallic paint with a sponge brush.  The paint dries really fast and I did 3 or 4 coats because I wanted the color to be rich.  I probably should have purchased a small roller to paint it with because I did end up with some streaks and I've been told a roller is best for this but I just used what I had.  Once everything was dry I sealed it with Valspars clear satin spray (what I had on hand).  Here are some photo's of the final project.  I really love how it turned out, can't wait to move it into our new home next month!
