Public (daniknight4)

  • There was a lot more damage on the sides too.
  • I used an old round pine top I had bought for another project. I thought this might be the solution to the tabletop problem.
  • I added extra for a lip around the sides and front and applied some masking tape before David cut it with a circular saw.
  • I used the old top as a template
  • I could see some yellow stains but they weren't too bad.
  • I thought I would smooth out the edges too.
  • Sanding off the previous paint and glue marks.
  • The veneer was peeling off in a lot of places.
  • I thought I'd just go for it so I sanded the wood fill and scuff sanded the body and drawers in prep for the primer and paint.
  • further secured it by hammering nails into back panel.
  • I used Maxi Nails construction adhesive to attach it to the top.
  • I clamped it in place then...
  • I used three coats of paint in total, brushing on then rolling over with a high density foam roller to give a smooth finish.
  • I used Zinsser Bullseye 123 primer first, applying two coats.
  • My lil collection of paint pots.
  • Making the chalk paint.
  • I stenciled all three drawer fronts and the drawer sides so that when they are opened they would look pretty. It was just an excuse to keep stenciling really:)
  • So much fun to do.
  • They look so pretty,
  • Tightening the nut.
  • Making the holes a bit bigger so the bolt fits through.
  • I think they suit the piece!
  • Wiping off the excess paint to reveal the lovely grain.
  • Applying water to the top first to wet it a little then painting on the wash.
  • Just looking at the old and the new.
  • I add water to the paint I used to paint the piece. Cheap and easy.
  • Peeling off the protective masking tape off the top.
  • Even though I mask it off, there is always a small amount of paint that manages to get on the wood.
  • Sanding the top with a fine sanding sponge before applying the wash. You really can feel the difference, it becomes so smooth.
  • Applying it with a damp cloth, then I let it dry for about 15 to 30 minutes and buff with a dry cloth.
