DIY Table

So this table like many projects has caused me to go crazy and feel defeated but you can't win them all. I like how the table turned out but it didn't go with my chairs and the color of the living room. I even ended up changing the color in the end but it didn't work out either. I took it from the garbage because I wanted a long table for Thanksgiving but I went back to my round table and now I continue to look for another. So here is my process in redoing this table.

These are the steps I followed:

1. Spray painted the edges and legs with a dark grey color.
2. Taped off the edges and got some white primer paint.
3. Took a cheap paint brush with a a thin bristles from the dollar store and painted a thin layer of the primer.
4. Took a deep brown stain and painted over the primer and repeated the steps over again to create layers.
5. Taped lines with blue painter's tape. I didn't measure just eyeballed it. 
6. Spray painted over the lines and created drops with the spray can trying my best to make it look like wood work.
