You Toss, I Turn
I found this table by the road side, and drove by without much consideration. However, there is something about this table that I really like so I went back to check. Everything was still holding together, just bruises.
I feel the urge to rescue it, and brought it home. I want to refinish it to its glory, but the top was a bit too messed up and I don't have a sander.
With a bit of elbow grease, I sand the top down by hand to smooth out the beating. My mind is full lately, and I have a houseful of guests to concentrate on the work of my blogs. This physical outlet seems to calm down my mind, and keeps me busy.
I decide to paint the top and the leg, but keep the draw in the wood tone after I sanded down, and protect it with a coat of polyurethane.
The table turns out beautifully, and I like the green color. I am so proud of myself, :-) This is my first project for the summer. The cost for this table is $3.00 for the paint. It is now sitting in my house proudly!
Icy, you did a very nice job! I love doing things like that and think of all the money you saved!
ReplyDeleteIcy, wow, you did a great job on that table, it looks brand new. Your talents always amaze me. What a cool find.

Wow, it looks fantastic Icy. That beautiful color and the wood tone of the drawer really makes it look expensive. Give yourself a pat on the back for a job well done.
ReplyDeleteI would have stopped as well for the table. Good job. Good score.
ReplyDeleteoh wow, you did a very good job Icy, love the finish, especially seeing how it was too worn out before.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job on the table. You should be proud of yourself because that table is really nice.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I think the green looks so much better than the original colour. I love to do this sort of thing too. It gives you so much pleasure to turn something old and beaten into something beautiful.
