Due to some insane and ridiculous series of events, it took over 4 months to transform this table. It sat in the garage in between phases and taunted me, louder and louder with each passing month….”Finish me…Finish me…FINISH ME!”
OK!!
Here’s how I found it…$4.00 at the Goodwill Outlet.
I didn’t take enough before pictures, but the top is MDF and was gouged, and even burned in a few places….I think this table’s owners had anger issues….
So the CC filled all those places with epoxy….
sand down the epoxy and old paint….
Then sandblasted the metal base when we were blasting the outdoor furniture.
I never showed you one of the tricks we find necessary when sandblasting…sieving the sand…..
We pour the sand through a window screen to catch the coarser bits that clog up the nozzle of the blasting attachment. It really makes all the difference!
See? That stuff will mess you up.
Much better.
Then, prime, paint, sand, paint again…nothing exciting…just plain white. Sorry for the crappy photos…this room is way dark with difficult angles away from the window and I had no time for styling….then again, I never do…I’m a renovator first.
