painting a stained table
I bought an inexpensive pine farm table to use as a home desk. It has a light coat of stain on it and a finish. I want to paint it white for a shabby chic look -- and wipe off some of the paint to show the wood for the chippy look. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to do this? Thanks! sue

You can do it just like you described it - with one addition. Lightly sand the entire piece to allow the paint something to hang on to.
I'd use a semi-gloss rather than a flat paint.
