It was a medium oak all over with stickers almost permanently embedded in the top.
I saved it from the trash heap and re-finished it. I sanded down the top and removed those stickers with a very little elbow grease thanks to Jake's orbital sander. I then re-finished the top with a beautiful Bombay Mahogany stain followed up with a Dark Walnut stain. It has delicate red undertones from the mahogany stain, and still is in the dark family of wood I love.
I painted the bottom and the legs a fabulous antique white and the contrast looks amazing.
For an investment of $0 for the table and around $20 for the paint and stain I have a beautiful end table and I can say, "Ya, I did that."
Becca it looks so good:) love it!

ReplyDeleteWhere did I get it? From our favorite "free stuff" pile near the dumpster. I was lucky to get it, cause several others were eyeing it up when I snatched it.
