My patio table has not aged well. The weather caused the sealer to peel and when I had it power washed it really became a mess. I took a few hours to sand it down and it looked nice however I did not want the dark wood finish.
I dug through the left over paint cans and chose a pale blue left from the porch ceiling. I painted on a thin coat and wiped it off. Nope still not it. I chose a can of off white the siding color and painted on a very thin coat. I left it to dry and used the sander to lightly sand down the finish and areas to show wear.
When I was satisfied with the finish I painted a coat of poly on and fell in love with the finished table top. The poly brought out the different tones in the wood. I can't wait till tomorrow to accent my table with plants and tray.
