🪑☑️ DIY Upcycling Project: Dining Set Makeover
We picked up an extendable dining table and chairs from Facebook Marketplace. They needed a good clean and some TLC but were in otherwise good condition. We stripped and sanded the round table top with a belt sander and then sanded the base using an orbital sander. To sand the tighter nooks of the table base and chairs, we sanded by hand.
Once the dining set was stripped down to the raw timber, we painted the base with white chalk paint and varnished the top with a varnish stain in the colour Black Japan. To paint the chairs, we spray painted Zinsser (3 in 1 primer, sealer, stain blocker) then spray painted Taubmans Professional White Enamel Paint.
Very happy with how this budget DIY project turned out and pleased that were were able to upcycle someone else's trash and turn it into a beautiful Hamptons-style dining set.
