Table and Chairs.

The kitchen table we found at Next2New  (a great consignment furniture and home goods store) was a gem with lots of potential – a bench on one side, 2 chairs and a leaf. (We added another miss-matched chair from Goodwill that costs $6, and are in the market for another…)

But as you can see from the close up below, the original colors were pretty bad. We knew we had to strip, sand, stain, seal and spray paint… and those five words took quite a bit of energy.

Here are some action shots of the work:

For those curious, Ron Hazelton has a great tutorial and video.
