Kitchen Table Redo

Hey y'all!

So... I've been working similar a mad adult woman on projects because I am getting SUPER bored without a task hither inwards Florida. Trust me, I've been looking but I'm non going to settle either. 

If you convey me every bit a Facebook friend, you know that I latterly announced that I am going dorsum to school! Woohoo, create a backflip, purchase me a present, let's consume cake! Nursing, hither I come! Can I larn to a greater extent than or less other WOOHOO! :-) I'm super excited, motivated together with SUPER TUPER nervous. I tin create it.

If you follow on Facebook (Click HERE) You know that I posted this film lastly nighttime together with asked you if you wanted me to weblog almost her. Yes, her. Her yell is Betty because she's province together with Betty is bad. Ha, yep I merely made that joke. I'm non funny today, hmph.


Betty has EXCELLENT bones together with sanded truly good for me. That is e'er a practiced affair people because SANDING is WORK. Don't permit anyone say ya differently ;)

Here's Betty alongside her give off :-o Get your hear out of the gutter!


I've gotten asked quite a few times almost the tools I purpose together with my favorite products. I mean value I'm going to 1 twenty-four hours a calendar week video postal service on my favorite products and/or reviews. What create you mean value almost that?

Ok! So, below is i of the sanders I have. This was the get-go i I bought. I haven't truly used the other i plenty to review it but I volition inwards a few months after I've used it a ton. This affair below is good WORTH the coin together with non every bit good much coin past times the way, I don't fifty-fifty mean value I spent $30 on this bad boy. You tin abide by a similar sander similar mine here from Lowes.com

I also larn asked what sort of sandpaper create you demand for for sure projects, etc. Well it depends on what you are doing! In this case, I was stripping the give of the one-time stain together with poly then naturally I got the "Paint Stripping" sand paper. I honey these 3M packs of sandpaper. You normally larn three or 4 inwards a pack together with they are super cheap, normally $2 or $3 or less depending on where you purchase them. I've e'er establish they are cheapest at Walmart together with the BX for you armed services people. I purchase likely v or half dozen packs at a fourth dimension because I create a lot of sanding.


I truly got this tabular array inwards Minot alongside my friend Katie. The floor is funny...and I powerfulness portion it afterwards ;)

Ok, dorsum to the tabular array together with it's details. I painted the bottom a prissy vivid white together with it truly needs to a greater extent than or less other coat. I mean value I volition distress the bottom lightly after I am done every bit well. The give is a novel method staining that I truly made upwards myself!

These are the 2 stains I truly used TOGETHER. Yes, people TOGETHER. 

MinWax Dark Walnut 2716 
MinWax Classic Gray 271

I knew that I wanted a deeper stain but I also wanted something dissimilar than our farmhouse table. So... I did what I create best. I tried something together with normally I fail. And I convey a lot of messes but this i truly worked inwards my favor.

I get-go stained the give of the tabular array alongside the classic grey. Make for sure you e'er stain alongside the grain! Provides a ameliorate finish! I permit that sit, saturate together with soak into the tabular array for almost 10 minutes. Then, I went OVER that stain alongside the Dark Walnut stain together with I roughshod inwards LOVE. It looks similar a prissy weathered slice of wood. It adds grapheme to the woods without beingness every bit good overwhelming! And did I refer how much I honey it?

Usually the Dark Walnut is good dark. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 prissy deep stain but I didn't desire that this time. I wanted something to a greater extent than rich...and you tin sort of say past times this pictures that it is a really rich grain now!


Don't hear my photographic tv camera pocketbook sitting on the table. I merely bought a novel lens then I had to re-organize my bag. I honey the tabular array straight off together with am currently doing my lastly coat of pigment on the legs. So, don't hear that! I merely wanted to exhibit you the table, ok!!! Lol.


Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 VERY of import affair when icon or staining whatever sort of slice of furniture is SEALING it! Now, the stains normally convey a seal inwards them but if you're doing a kitchen tabular array or anything truly that you demand to wipe downward or could larn materials on it, seal it. You desire to live able to wipe it clean.


Look how pretty that complete is!


And hither is a prissy earlier together with after for you. Don't you honey Before together with After's? I for sure do.
