Is your table as tired as my table?
Bet not.
 |
| Start with some light sanding, just enough to rough up the finish. I start with a 60 grit to take the finish off, then use a 220 to smooth it out. |
My table is old.
I don't really know how old. I only know how long I've had my table.
Before living with us our table lived, neglected, in somebody's basement. We rescued this poor table from it's old home and brought it to our home.
Back when I loved country. Shhh, don't tell that to anyone please and thank you.
My table has earned it's keep a 100 times over.
It gets used day. in. and. day. out. Many times a day by ravenous teenagers who never seem to get full.
It was time to breath a little refresh into this hard working table and make it beautiful again.

| Spray paint is your friend. Here is Heirloom White. |
Seriously it took about 6 hours total to refresh it and a little elbow grease. Why did I wait so long people?

| Refresh and restyled! |

| Mixed an existing tinted glaze with a bronze metallic paint Found on clearance for $3.26 at the hardware. With an old rag, wiped the glaze onto the top of the table. |

Wow, that's awesome! I would love to do something like that to our kitchen table. It is beyond dull. And scratched. This would be an excellent fix.
