Bedside tables makeover

[Inspiredcoastal]

These bedsides were dark and worn and needed a refresh. 

 

Materials

Cabots stain and varnish and had it tinted in colour Brazilian roast (waterbase)

Cabots Cabothane satin clear sealer

Sand paper 80,120, 240 grit and 400 grit paper

Tools

Makita orbital sander 

Steps

Step 1

After sanding them back to reveal the natural timber I decided to stain them.

I used Cabot's stain and varnish in colour Brazilian roast.

However as this stain colour is a very dark colour I mixed a very small amount of the stain with Cabot's cabothane satin clear sealer. 

 Approx 1x part stain to 5x parts clear sealer.
