Repurposed dining set

We have had this setting for about 20 years. It has seen many family dinners and get together with friends. It’s time to downsize and let another family make happy memories around this table.

Steps

Step 1

First step was to remove/strip old varnish using Diggers paint stripper.

All surfaces were then washed down, and dried.

Next all surfaces were sanded down using medium and fine sandpaper.BeforeAfter

Step 2

After all surfaces were cleaned down I then stained the table, and sanded it numerous times until I was happy with the colour.

I then prepped and painted the chairs,giving them 3 coats.

Sealer added, and cushion seats reupholstered and put back together.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Speedy1965. It's terrific to have you join us, and many thanks for sharing your project

You've certainly breathed new life it to the aged piece. I really like the natural timber finish instead of the darker stain. The chairs also look far better in white, and you've done some wonderful work on the upholstery.

Great job, and thanks again for sharing.
