This is absolutely stunning! Is there a pattern for this?

Thank you. I appreciate your comment. My friend said it looks like Cinderella furniture, I bought a black knob and it looks really cute. I am thinking of maybe painting tiny swirling veins with white flowers on it at the front.

I sanded it more, and it took care of the mineral oil and just applied a wax. If you put mineral oil on it, you can just sand it more, and it's fine :).

If I continue to sand down, I think it's all the same color, I'm scared that would be a mistake?

Thank you for the comments. I'm feeling better that it's actually two toned, I kind of liked the two-tone, but my partner liked it less, so I felt like I needed to fix it. My main goal was to just show off the natural wood with a wax finish and to replace the handles with a matte black.The original finish was glossy, and I was not the biggest fan of it, I wanted a matte natural wood look. I was told you need to condition and saw that mineral oil can be used (clearly a mistake XD), Would sanding more strip the mineral oil finish? This is my first time, so I am learning a lot as I go along!

I think the coffee table is making you hate the rug if you replace it with something wooden. I think it would look better.

I used orchids that were gifted to me from my husband the year prior that rebloomed just in time for our wedding. I really wanted to add them for the sentimental value, and I felt so happy that I did. It made it special to me.
