We sold our beloved kitchen table at the garage sale.
This was our "kitchen table" for a week and a half.
Yes, that's how long it took me to decide what color to stain the new table!
We also enjoyed lots of meals outside.
Ended up putting the screen tent up for shade at lunch.
Yes, those hillbillies on Bethel Rd.... that's us.
Finally on Monday night our neighbor Justin came over and helped Eric move it in!!!!
Enjoying a Coke on the finished product!
Dark stained top. Two coats of poly. I sanded before and after each coat.
Feels so smooth!
I painted the legs white and distressed them with the orbital sander.
I should have stained the edges first, then painted, then sanded so that the wood showing through would be a nice dark color.
Oh, well. Live and learn. I don't care enough to do it all a second time!
Just need to get some real chairs. But for now folding chairs and a table full of kids will do.
We LOVE our new big table. Seats 14 with the extension!
Next project: painting the kitchen!
