is yOuR furniture asking for it?
mY kitchen table was so
it got a good beating, finally!
....side note, anyone who know what i'Ve been through
the last couple years knows how it's hard to recover from
it all.....mY table ended up with only three chairs instead
of four when the 'x-factor' got mad at me once and
broke it into a bunch of pieces.
it feels so much better to get some more seating to
go with this set but to also feel like i got something
a little more new since then.
(before....15 years old.......and Ugh....ugh....ly!)
during....
spraint paint legs, check
take a screw driver to the top, check
scratch it up, check
lacquer with dark stain, check
sand the crap out of it, check
(side note: this is a must on old furniture with exsiting dent, bangs,
or scrapes....otherwise it would be liking paint a car while
leaving all the old dents.....ghetto....not cute!)
find coordinating bench at flea market, check
(can yOu believe what a good find this was? it matched perfectly,
after i had already done the table and chairs....meant to be....)
paint chairs, check
apply 'rub on poly' to avoid bubbles and cracks, check
post on internet and ask if it looks alright.....
check,
check,
double check!
please take notice of the dark intentional
scratches and uneven
sanding to create a 'farmhouse country kitchen table' look
this project has made mE want to start all over
and beat it up even more....thank goodness for not being worried about
ruining old furniture.....or even making it more endearing
to yOuR home!
