Last year, we bought the most adorable little table from the Recycling Centre. However, while it's general structure was undeniably cute, the top, unfortunately, had seen much better days. So, this past weekend, I decided to try my hand at refinishing it.
The first few scrapes with the sandpaper were truly horrible - what if I'd made a terrible mistake?! But fortunately the varnish came off incredibly easily.
Both kittens were very excited to have a new place to sit, so I spent a rather pleasant Sunday afternoon painting coats of varnish and guarding the table.
And, behold, it was all worth it.
I was worried about sanding off the lovely veneer, so the table ended up looking pleasantly antique-y, I think.
Most importantly, it's much better protected....and looks considerably less like it's just been brought home from the dump - alien table success!
