This was a lucky find, my SIL knew I was looking for a tabular array amongst drawers so, when she saw the costless Craiglist advertizement she straight off allow me know. The to a higher identify pics are the ones the previous possessor posted. And that's my van amongst the precious especial coming to its novel home.
The table-top had some pigment stains, only I didn't bother much nearly them, those unremarkably come upwardly off easily. The circled marks were the ones I was concerned about.
I thought the stain would come upwardly off easily, hence I used the lacquer thinner - acetone mix, spreading it together with scrubbing it amongst a steel wool pad. It sure enough removed the pigment stains, only it didn't do much to the heavy coats of stain/varnish the tabular array had.
More ability was necessary --->Citristrip - Stripping Gel to the rescue. I applied it amongst an former brush, next the production instructions. After xxx minutes together with using a joint knife, all that materials started to come upwardly off easily.
For those stubborn areas, yous demand to apply some to a greater extent than stripping gel, hold back some minutes together with remove.
After I removed all the stain/varnish, I cleaned the entire surface amongst the thinner-acetone mix, together with and hence i to a greater extent than cleaning amongst denatured alcohol.
The to a higher identify left pic is how the travel yesteryear looked afterward it was all cleaned.
Those 2 large circles were even hence there, they didn't expect similar H2O stains, inwards fact I believe it was stain. My guessing is that the someone who stained the tabular array left the gallon of stain on travel yesteryear of the tabular array piece working on it, creating those 2 large marks.
Well, the exclusively matter that worked at minimizing those marks was the sander. Yep, I used a 120 grid sandpaper. Every fourth dimension I went over those patches, the sandpaper was left amongst blotches of glutinous residue.
The to a higher identify correct pic is how the surface looked at the destination of the day, when I brought the tabular array within the house.
I even hence tin flame run into the marks, only equally my friend Beck says, those are the imperfections nosotros select to "embrace". ;)
The adjacent step: 2 coats of Annie Sloan clear wax, buffing it inwards betwixt coats.
I liked the greenish base of operations the tabular array had, only it was already looking tired. I went for a brighter color. Even though it looks white, it's a calorie-free greyish color.
I used the hugger-mugger formula of homemade chalk paint I ever use. Well, it's non hence secret, yous tin flame discovery it here. The matter is, I ever piece of job regular apartment paint, yes, the i I piece of job for the wall, same amount of POP & water.
After the 2 coats of pigment were dried, I gave the entire base of operations a practiced sanding amongst 120 grid sandpaper. The corners together with those piffling crevices the tabular array has were sanded some more, yous tin flame run into the greenish color peaking thru.
Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 tack fabric was used to take all the dust earlier applying 2 coats of wax to protect the paint.
The lighter wooden musical note together with the tabletop pattern are at nowadays i of my favorite features.
Hmmm, perchance afterward the piffling drawers.
I'm already filling them amongst my portion things. Can yous run into the spots on the tabletop? Yep. They're noticeable, only I already got used to them.
I similar to pay to a greater extent than attending to the grain, together with the color, together with at how soft it feels.
This is a bird's-eye stance of the tabular array that I shared during the Christmas tour.
I'm LOVING IT! I'm at nowadays using it equally my desk. Pretty soon, I'll last sharing this room amongst its novel portion attire, remain tuned! ;)
