Hi friends! Zack and I have spent the last 2 weeks moving to Dallas and getting situated. We will be here just until July, so we've made some plans to enjoy the local sights. So far we have planned the art museum, two plays, a Rangers/Red Sox game, a concert and amusement park. Are you from the area? We would love suggestions!
Materials
Sand Paper -80 and 220 grits
Orbital or Palm Sander
Maple Table
Chalk Paint
Paint Brushes
Wax
2. Apply Stain: Apply the stain with a sponge brush and drench the wood. Allow the wood to absorb the stain as it dries. Do not apply and wipe off.
3. Paint: Apply chalk paint to the base of the table. This is your best option for paint, so that the paint doesn't need to be removed. On a crazy color like this existing blue, you would need to apply two coats of paint.
4. Wax: Finally you can apply furniture wax to the entire piece. If you look for better wood protection, you could apply a hard shell topcoat to the piece's top to protect it from potential water damage.
5. Gloat- Sit back and gloat, cause you've just given a piece of furniture a new life!
Do you love it? I think Jami totally turned this piece around- like from the trash pile to a place in any home! I'm sure she would love it if you said hi- you'll find her Youtube channel [here.] Thanks for stopping in. I would love to see you tomorrow at the Handmade Hangout!
