I started working on the kitchen table today.
First I sanded the top. I needed to get rid of some poly that was put on wrong a couple of years ago - it was wavy and dull.
I started with a 60 grit sandpaper, then 100, 150 and finally a 220 grit. The table top is a smooth as a baby's behind now.
Then I applied my first coat of stain. I will apply another coat tomorrow.
I am leaving the top stained because it gets a lot of wear and tear. The base and legs of the table will be painted a creamy white and then glazed and aged.
Here are some of the transformations this table has had in the past.
Original - All Stained.
Painted yellow then glazed - a few years ago.
After the yellow, I painted it black. Now I am ready for a lighter look. After the second coat of stain, I will poly it. Then the painting and glazing starts. Then the painting and glazing of the six chairs....this could take a while :-).
Welcome Home,
Penny
