Table Make Over

What do you do when you have spent wayyy too much time looking at blogs that feature furniture make overs?  

 You start searching for a piece of imperfect furniture in your home that you can sand until your stress is gone. LOL

Oh...look, I found one.

Noo not the chairs..the little table in the middle.

 It has scratches all over the top.

Let's be honest here... I have no clue what I am doing.

Remember it is my sista Susie that does all the painting. LOL

Just like I told Camo Man... Don't Worry ...

 the table is not a family antique, and did not cost too much.

What's the worst that can happen?  

OK,  Don't answer that.

    Things I Learned While Doing This Project

•  Take the advice of the sales people. She advised me to use glaze. I used some stain that we had in the garage.. I am either really slow or that stuff dries really fast.

• Wear Gloves!  No, not because it is cold... because the stain is gonna give your hands an instant tan.  Your nails, well let's just say I had to cut them off and the kids did not want me to cook their supper!  Hey I may have to try that one again. LOL

• You may NOT need the second tip if you use glaze.. not really sure what the clean up is for glaze.

 The stain did give it the finish I was looking for.

 Actually these chairs and table where in the living room where the Christmas tree was.

 I think that I might like them better in there...

I'm off to move some furniture..
