Temple in London, England
I hope they call me on a mission to the United Kingdom....
...or to the U.K. ....
...or to Great Britain....
...or to England ....
When I was a youth I was able to go on a temple trip to the London Temple (which is really quite a ways outside of London, in  town called Newchapel).  I have fond memories of that trip and naturally this temple and country have a special place in my heart....

U.K. Flag Dresser
So when I acquired a wonderful old waterfall dresser, I transformed it into a United Kingdom flag-dresser, which I affectionately dubbed "I Hope They Call Me On A Mission To The U.K"
Dedicated to this special country....

Me and my friend Esther
... and ...
.... this dresser is also dedicated to my good friend Esther (whom I grew up with) who actually served her mission in the country of Great Britain...
Lucky girl!

I was going to sell this dresser, but .... I quite like it and think it will look great in my son's room.....

And who knows....
... perhaps he will serve HIS mission in the United Kingdom!

Fab job! I just completed a "Jack" on a table, so I know how time consuming they are. Stellar job on the lines and colors! You should be proud!!!

I went to your blog and it looks fabulous! What a great idea to cut down a table to make a round coffee table....
Thanks for sharing!

Did you sand and primer before applying the paint? What brand and type of paint did you use. Looks amazing.

It is best to sand and primer before paint, but the newest quick method is "chalk-paint." Sanding is not necessary with chalk-paint.
There are several methods online on how to mix up your own chalk-paint, or you can buy it ready-made from Annie Sloan.
