Dinning table re-do

So my husband and I just recently moved. Prior to that, we knew that our dinning space would be smaller and our rectangular table would not fit in our new place and we set out to find a smaller one. We found the perfect one on Craigslist. It is round and has a leaf in it so that we can make it bigger if we need to. We scored this awesome table and chairs for 40.00 bucks! I in visioned something bright and fun to liven up our new apartment. I really love the Two-tone look, so we decided to stain the top and paint the bottom half a bright turquoise. My husband and I usually hit up the mess up paint section first to see if we can score some great deals. We found this turquoise paint for 5 bucks! We used Valspar Semi-gloss for the paint. For the stain, we used Varathan and the color was black cherry. We used semi-gloss polyurethane for our finish. This table was really scratched when we picked it up so we gave it a good sand down. I then started with the turquoise on the bottom half of the table. ( I normally don't use a primar when I am planning on distressing the furniture, so that when I re-sand the piece, the natural wood will come through). I then put the stain in the top of the table and the top of the chairs. I did 2 layers of the stain. Once everything was dry, I re-sanded the areas that I wanted to distress. Then finally I finished with a coat of lacquer. What do you think? Fun right?
