I would go with wax if I have to do it again, it's a more natural finish. And you know what?

You say you have small children, but the wax is very safe unless your children chew on the table. From what I have read they are past that stage. I have done a table for my niece that they use every day and it is holding up quite well. People use it to paint their kitchen cabinets. You do not have to use distress it if you want it to be just a smooth paint finish., don't distress. I have not primed nor sanded in years. Best of luck to you and your painting endeavors.

Since you were familiar with Annie... Oh my goodness. Since you were familiar with Annie Sloan chalk paint (I see you used the wax,) why in the world did you do all of that stripping? Your project is beautiful, but all the work you did makes me exhausted. You could have stripped the top, cleaned the rest of the set with a little Dawn and warm water, and then painted with old white. <br /> Please remember with your next project that you do not have to strip and sand anything. With Annie Sloan's to paint all you have to do is wipe it down and paint.
