Revamp Old Table.

What you will need.
Spray Paint.
Wood Stain.
Protection Sealant.
Sand Paper/Sander
Piece Of Furniture.



I was given a very plain table, I wanted to add some character to it so I DID. I began with washing it first. scrubbed it down as best as i could. I then sanded the whole thing down. I didn't have an electric sander at the time so i did it all by hand. Which took FOREVER!!! I recommend getting an electric sander, they aren't very expensive. once you sand the whole table down you are going to want to wash it again to get all the dust from sanding it off. After it dried i spray painted the legs "blue ocean breeze" from krylon. It started to rain so i had to wait a few days to finish them; but once i did they look great. Next i stained the table top. I used "English Chestnut" by Minwax. Staining wood is very time consuming, and smells horrible. I used a paint brush and evenly coated the entire table. It took 3 Days for it to completely dry. Once it dried I put a protection sealant on it. I used "Polyurethane" by Minwax. It says fast drying but it took a day and a half to dry. Then it was done.
