Patio Set Revival

A good friend of mine gave me this patio set to bring back to life for her. The table was wobbly, and everything needed much sanding. I started with the table; took it completely apart, and sanded it right down. I tightened it up. With a fresh coat of stain, it will look amazing. I think she’ll be pleased with the end result.

I will work on the chairs next. Stay tuned..









Sling-style Patio Set Refurbish

I refurbished this patio set made of Eucalyptus.  I took it all apart and sanded it. I then stained it with two coats of C2 Guard for Wood - Sugar Honey from Randall Paints.









Backyard Dining Table and Chairs Update

A friend of mine wanted to refinish her backyard dining table and chairs.  Both the table and chairs were sanded.  It was refinished with one coat of a mix of one part stain, and two part Clear Finish.

Backyard Harvest Table Refresh

The Harvest dining table I built in 2014 was in need of some TLC.  After being stored for three years, it was time to uncover it from the tarp it was wrapped up in! The stain was in rough condition, and I didn't like the semi-transparent walnut-brown stain anymore, so I stripped it right down.  I then took it apart, piece by piece, sanded it, and stained it with two coats of C2 Guard for Wood - Sugar Honey from Randall Paints.







 

Bench Revamp

A dear friend of mine had an aging bench which needed some refinishing.  I took it apart and sanded it completely.  I finished it with three coats of C2 Guard for Wood - Tupelo Honey stain, from Randall Paints.

Side Table - Magazine Rack - Book Shelf

For the longest time, my mom had this antique table at the front entrance of her home.  It was the ugliest table, all scratched up, water stains all over it, and in much need of repair.  Twenty years later, I decided to do something with it.

I stripped it down as much as I could, without causing any further damage. I need to find the hardware that will allow the table to open up.

Transformed Farmhouse Kitchen Table

My sister-in-law has an excellent eye for finding absolute gems. This one is no exception.  While she and my wife were out shopping, she found this pedestal table for my daughter’s new place. 

Surprisingly, the table was in decent shape, but was due for a makeover. So I bought it. If I told you how much I paid for it, you wouldn’t believe me.

I took it apart and completely stripped down the tabletop, while the base only required some sanding.  I used a combination of olive oil and vinegar to remove all the scuffs and scratches.

The table has three coats of stain and two coats of satin topcoat.   It turned out awesome!  Thank you Janis!!
