Finally

The table is done. Finally. I'm slightly pissed that I can see sanding marks from sanding after the first coat of polyurethane but I am not about to sand, paint, and poly again.

I need to move the legs around and figure out where they were when I painted the table. You can see there is a big gap between a couple of legs and the top. This requires bribing my not-so-patient husband to help me.

Still have five chairs left. Blah. I'm all painted out.

Distressed

I sanded a bit of the table today - a lot of the edges had thick areas of paint and I wanted to smooth them out before I finished the last coats.



The good news is that painting the first coat black worked out how I wanted - it showed through. Bad news is the husband doesn't like the weathered look and I don't think a distressed look with glossy paint works. That's okay, since I do like it all white.


Now I've just got to touch up those black areas so I can do one final (I hope) coat of white.

Um, one chair down...

I must be the slowest furniture refinisher ever. I've only completed one chair of six and the table may need another coat of paint before polyurethane.

Here's the chair with some ivory burlap I had lying around. I'd like to tuft it but it will have to wait.
