Custom Kitchen Table

I bet you were starting to wonder if we were planning on reFinding anything soon....don't worry...we won't leave you hanging.


Our good friend came to us with this table.....


She found this stunner on craigslist and wanted to take it from country to contemporary.



This is where Meg and I come in! We started off by sanding it down. Taking care to remove both the polish and the stain. The wood underneath was gorgeous!





Then we grabbed our stain and got to work. 




Once the stain color was just right, we finished off the look with some poly. Four coats in fact. Since this table is being used in the kitchen, we know it is going to get a lot of wear-and-tear, so we wanted to make sure it would stand the test of time.


As a refresher....here is the BEFORE:



And here is the AFTER!








We think it turned out fabulous.  Now that the table is done, it's onto the bench!
