Table

So I bought this table and it was lime green, I wanted to refurbish it b/c I love the shape of it, after sanding I found out some of it is compressed wood, so I can't stain it.

Then I decided I would just paint & glaze it to give it a french country distressed look, well the picture I had in my head didn't appear in front of me.

Any ideas on what to do with it now????

What exactly happened? The picture doesnt show what colors it is? Have you thought of painting it say a flat cream and distressing the edges by sanding? Then you put a clear coat glaze as a finishing touch.

Re: Table

Well it came out as a distressed light green, I wanted to do the grayish green which would be a french country look, I mixed the green paint with the glaze, i wonder if thats why?

Should I paint it then put the glaze on by itself?

Also should I have the top of it as a wood color?

This is what I am going for:
