"I picked this little table up months ago. The top was in pieces & had chunks of wood missing. I was going to build a new top but thought I'd try to repair it first. I reglued, used Bondo to rebuild the side & reattached the top. I opted not to paint this piece for many reason & I'm so glad I listened to the piece. I used General Finishes gel stains in Java & Antique Walnut. Painting it on & wiping it back off lightly on the base. Leaving the stain in the low parts for...

Loving this desk transformation from Art is Beauty_! Karin uses General Finishes Java Gel Stain to create a faux woodgrain! Now to get the woodgrain look I am going to give you the easiest tool in the world to use…your hand! Yup..that’s it. When the top was ready for the stain I use a lint-less cloth (think old clean t-shirt) I drape the cloth over the top of my hand holding the cloth in my palm with my thumb and dip it in the stain. Going in one direction starting at one end I run the cloth...
"This was easily one of the funnest projects I've done! This was a collaboration done with my friend and fellow junk addict Nicole. She found the table and chairs for a song, I provided the materials, and we both put in the blood, sweat, and tears... ok,, who an I kidding, this was a full-on blast! After we stripped the top to bare, I really had Nicole raising her eyebrows when I chose French Linen, Emile, Duck Egg Blue, and Pure White Chalk Paint® just for the top, but I had a vision, and...

Amazing transformation to a "Pottery Barn Knockoff" from Mary Beth's Place_! [The original piece] was in really great shape, and needed some light sanding on the body to correct some dents and nicks that happened over the years. The top, however, was in rough shape. Deep scratches in the finish meant I had to strip the entire top, sand, and restain it. I used General Finishes Antique Walnut - it's a gorgeous natural color, that coupled with black looks gorgeous! It shines again with several...
Is this table magazine-worthy or what!? It was refinished by Susan of Saw Nail and Paint_ of Seattle, WA.Company_.

The top had some pretty bad scratches and water stains, but even so, this is one of those rare finds that I could have just used as is. I stripped the old finish off the top, let it dry for a day and...
