So... questions of the day. What is on the opposite side of the checker. One side has a crown, the other side has.... Low and behold, after google and many phone calls to friends and family... the answer is NOTHING!!!
Many have a star or something like that, but in all actuality it is just a place holder.
Put paint on the table and so all is ready for varnish. Wooohhooo!!
Tomorrow I will start the process of distressing all that needs to be distressed and then a small layer of stain.
We will be done!
