Table Makeover



Remember by Table from Tuesday? 
My friend gave me this table that someone left in thier rental property. 
 Lets just say it was FILTHY, like dog doo filthy!  I saw potential and afterall it was FREE!



I cleaned, and cleaned some more.  Then sanded it all down.


I painted it white and stained the top with dark walnut. Wait until you see the beauty of the top!  GORGEOUS!


I sanded it up nice and good to antique it.  Then wiped it with wax. 
 The wood was very dry so it completely absorbed the wax.






I also gave Mr. Squirrel a few coats of white gloss spray paint.


               Before                     &                  After

    I can't even begin to tell you how much I love everything about this post.
    First off, HOW FREAKING CUTE IS THAT SQUIRREL? totally going to the dollar store and finding one for myself.
    Secondly, the table rocks. Good for you for seeing past the grime & dirt and making something anyone would swoon for!!

    I can't wait to do that type of finish on my kitchen table. I have 2 projects ahead of it, so it's not going to get done until at least the middle of the summer,but I'm SO looking forward to it. I really can't wait to see the look on my husband's face when I get it done. Making something over for little cost really floats my boat!

    Amazing make over! I didn't even notice the little inlay strip in the before shot. It really brought it out when you refinished it. Lovely!

    You did a wonderful job transforming this table!
    I have a coffee table with some inlay that I am going to redo and was wondering if you did anything special to it?
    Great job!
