Dining Table makeover

Image
Our good friends the Green family had outgrown their table and so kindly gave it to us. As Justin will attest to, I grab up anything that's free. I did the same here not fully thinking through what I would do with it. It couldn't be that hard to refurbish a dining table and chairs. Despite not having a plan we are happy to now have two electric sanders, a dining table with 6 chairs instead of 3 and we know more about sanding, painting, etc. Here is a quick look at the process. Step one: Clean I scrubbed the table and chairs and pintrested (nope, not a word, but you get what I mean) to decide on colors Step two: sand down table top and seats Easier said than done. I was definitely not going to sand the rest. Justin was a big help on this part. Step three: wipe clean  Step four: apply stain Step five: apply varnish to stain Justin came in and saved the day on staining the table. I was not going with the wood grains because it was drying too fast. Together...
