Check out how I transformed this outdated table into the beautiful table you see now! It's now the focal point in our breakfast nook and is used daily by our family!
When I bought this awesome table, my husband hated the color and all the scratches, but it fit perfectly in our space! I knew it could be something beautiful with a little elbow grease!
First, I used a belt sander to strip off the layers of lacquer. You can see those scratches I mentioned, but I sanded those right off!
Look at how gorgeous that wood grain is! It's amazing how different the table looked once that orange color was removed!
Next, I scuffed up the legs slightly to prepare them for the paint. This is where that elbow grease comes in!
Next, I stained the tabletop because I was so excited to see how a different stain would change the look of this table. I was not disappointed!
For the rest of the steps, detailed instructions, and for information on stain and paint colors, head on over to the blog!
I love how this table turned out, and my husband loves it, too! What do you think of the new look?
Enjoyed the project?
