This old kitchen table had too many family dinners and kids gathered around it to replace it, but the finish was gone! I thought about a solid paint, but didn't want that look. So scrubbed it with Purple Power to really deep clean it, remove all the grease and take off any remaining glaze (there wasn't much). After a thorough drying, I used some leftover paint that was close in color to do a "wipe on, wipe off" type of application. When I had it pretty even, I let it dry and sprayed it with some satin Polyurethane. Just 2 very light coats. It looks and feels SO much better, and we still have our table with memories!
Enjoyed the project?
