Steps
Step 1
I started by giving the table a good clean with soap and water and used De-Solv-It sticky spot remover to remove the sticker residue from inside the drawer.
I then used poly stripper and a paint scraper to remove the varnish from the top, before sanding smooth with my Ryobi orbital sander. I scuff sanded the rest of the piece by hand, and primed with Taubmans 3 in 1 prep.
The drawer knob was glued on, so I removed this with a small handsaw and then sanded the surface flat.
Step 2
For the fluted feature on the front of the drawer, I used half round moulding, which I cut to size using my Ryobi multi-function tool. I then glued the moulding onto the drawer with wood glue.
Step 3
I painted the table and drawer using a brush and roller.
Step 4
Once the paint was completely dry, I sealed the piece using Cabot's water-based polyurethane in matte, for added durability.
I used a bamboo jar lid as the handle, which I secured with super glue, and finished off the piece with peel and stick drawer liner!
