Kitchen Table Refinishing Progress...

Feathering My Nest has moved!... come check all of this out over at www.featheringmynest.ca/blog

Here's a shot of the kitchen table in progress... its been sanded down and the table top... as of this evening has been stained twice... I'm going to stain it once more tomorrow evening... I think it still needs to be a little darker... once its stained and clear coated I'll paint the skirting piece cream... distress it a bit... and then wax it... in this shot the skirting and pedestal and feet are so crisp white looking because they're just primed with Kilz right now... It just got a second coat... all thats left with the pedestal and feet is to be lightly sanded, sprayed cream, distressed and waxed...


You can see the chairs in the background... thats the colour that the table used to be...  its much warmer looking now... I'm going for the beachy cottage chic look here to match the stools I finished the other week... Hopefully I can finish at least two of these chairs this weekend...

...just thought to edit this post and drop in a shot of what the table used to look like...


Just seeing the difference of the before and after pictures myself right now this close together... hmm... I much rather the after!..


Here's a shot of the Kils and the stain that I've used... and below are the stools... I waxed the legs of the stools with Minwax Paste Finishing Wax... this evening I lightly sanded the once clear coated stool seats and then put on a second coat of clear... tomorrow evening after another light sand and a third coat of clear and they should be finished... then they just have to cure for a week and they'll be ready for everyday use... 


Luckily the clear coat has made the stain look a little darker... I love them!..

Linking up to these lovely parties!..

  10. Hi! I'm just visiting from Courtney's party and had to tell you how much I love what you are doing to your table. That creamy and dark combo is one of my favorites and my kitchen set is very similar. Can't wait to see it all done! :-)

  17. What color is the stain? I can't read the label.

  18. The colour is Dark Walnut #269!.. It came out darker with one coat on the stools than it did with three coats on the kitchen table top... different woods absorb the stain differently I'm thinking...
