"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_. " I spotted this vintage oak draw leaf table at my favorite Goodwill a couple of weeks ago and I thought it would be perfect for my dining room. This table was a steal at just $60. 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...

"The wood on this piece was beautiful, but the wood was just hiding all those beautiful accents and it just needed something to give it a little more elegance. I decided to go with my favorite white.
