How to antique a furniture piece using glaze

Image
My mom gave me this table in which I was very thankful, However I had a different vision of what I wanted it to look like.   I accomplished that look in just 2 days! Finished Product LOVE IT!!!! Yesterday I applied 2 coats of liquid sander deglosser, this eliminates the sanding process. I was a bit skeptical of this product but it surprisingly held the paint on pretty good. After about 10 minutes I painted my table an off-white/antique-white color. I painted on about 2/3 coats  of the antique white. After about an hour I took a very fine sand paper and lightly sanded the edges/Buttons/bumps to give that distressed look.                     I had somewhere to be so I left it at that until today which was probably best to get a good 24 hour drying time but I'm normally not that patient to see end results. Today I glazed....first time and I was so nervous. I've even watched some tutorials where the people have said not to be nervous but I just was.
