Hey there,
Has it been difficult for yous to become dorsum to your regular routine afterwards the holidays? Well, it's been thence difficult for me to become far the swing of things, together with the mutual depression temperature weather condition isn't helping much.
I'm glad I tackled thence many projects concluding calendar month for the give away of the dining room, this 1 is 1 of those.
I had no thought what form of tabular array was this, I did a Google search for dining tables amongst drawers, together with the best jibe was this: Farmhouse dining tabular array amongst keeping drawers together with tapering legs from non other than Magnolia Home line! Whoa, afterwards seeing that price, I'm thence happy amongst the fourth dimension I invested bringing this beautiful tabular array dorsum to life. :)

This was a lucky find, my SIL knew I was looking for a tabular array amongst drawers so, when she saw the gratis Craiglist promotion she right away permit me know. The to a higher identify pics are the ones the previous possessor posted. And that's my van amongst the precious special coming to its novel home.
The table-top had some pigment stains, precisely I didn't bother much nearly them, those commonly come upwards off easily. The circled marks were the ones I was concerned about.
I thought the stain would come upwards off easily, thence I used the lacquer thinner - acetone mix, spreading it together with scrubbing it amongst a steel wool pad. It for certain removed the pigment stains, precisely it didn't exercise much to the heavy coats of stain/varnish the tabular array had.
More ability was necessary --->Citristrip - Stripping Gel to the rescue. I applied it amongst an erstwhile brush, next the production instructions. After thirty minutes together with using a joint knife, all that stuff started to come upwards off easily.
For those stubborn areas, yous request to apply some to a greater extent than stripping gel, hold off some minutes together with remove.
After I removed all the stain/varnish, I cleaned the entire surface amongst the thinner-acetone mix, together with and thence 1 to a greater extent than cleaning amongst denatured alcohol.
The to a higher identify left motion-picture present is how the transcend looked afterwards it was all cleaned.
Those ii large circles were nevertheless there, they didn't hold off similar H2O stains, inwards fact I believe it was stain. My guessing is that the soul who stained the tabular array left the gallon of stain on transcend of the tabular array spell working on it, creating those ii large marks.
Well, the entirely matter that worked at minimizing those marks was the sander. Yep, I used a 120 grid sandpaper. Every fourth dimension I went over those patches, the sandpaper was left amongst blotches of gluey residue.
The to a higher identify correct motion-picture present is how the surface looked at the destination of the day, when I brought the tabular array within the house.
I nevertheless tin run across the marks, precisely every bit my friend Beck says, those are the imperfections nosotros accept to "embrace". ;)
The adjacent step: ii coats of Annie Sloan clear wax, buffing it inwards betwixt coats.
I liked the greenish base of operations the tabular array had, precisely it was already looking tired. I went for a brighter color. Even though it looks white, it's a lite greyness color.
I used the hush-hush formula of homemade chalk paint I ever use. Well, it's non thence secret, yous tin honor it here. The matter is, I ever purpose regular apartment paint, yes, the 1 I purpose for the wall, same amount of POP & water.
After the ii coats of pigment were dried, I gave the entire base of operations a skillful sanding amongst 120 grid sandpaper. The corners together with those piddling crevices the tabular array has were sanded some more, yous tin run across the greenish color peaking thru.
H5N1 tack stuff was used to take all the dust earlier applying ii coats of wax to protect the paint.
The lighter wooden note together with the tabletop pattern are at nowadays 1 of my favorite features.
Hmmm, peradventure afterwards the piddling drawers.
I'm already filling them amongst my constituent things. Can yous run across the spots on the tabletop? Yep. They're noticeable, precisely I already got used to them.
I similar to pay to a greater extent than attending to the grain, together with the color, together with at how soft it feels.
This is a bird's-eye thought of the tabular array that I shared during the Christmas tour.
I'm LOVING IT! I'm at nowadays using it every bit my desk. Pretty soon, I'll last sharing this room amongst its novel constituent attire, remain tuned! ;)
