I was debating whether to show the before or the after first. The after won out.I stood before the sanded and prepped table, squinting my eyes, trying to visualize different colors. Black? Cream? Sanding, no sanding?
I had a half gallon of colonial red and gave it a try. Then I sanded it and rubbed on a walnut stain. It reminds me of an old teacher's desk. It even has a pencil holder along the top of the desk.
Here is the before. I had started to sand the top when I remembered to take a photo for the before shot. The top had decals as well.The shop I sell my furniture at, The Laughing Daisy in Kimberly, Idaho, is closed until Monday. I have a porch full of projects and I am hoping to have a truck full to take.
Great job!
ReplyDeleteI love what the colonial red does for it. (This is Jo - for whatever reason, it won't let me use my Google ID)
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew how to do this. I am a sucker for red or white furniture.
