Giving old things new life!
The Craig's List FIND--love everything about this one.
The top-well, it needed some TLC...so....
With my 3M sander--I was able to sand off all the water marks, and some of whatever this lovely stain was. After about 2 hours of sanding, I decided it was "character"!
After sanding, 2 coats of walnut stain-gel (love that--no dripping!)...and 2 coats of poly clear coat (rubbed on with a cotton cloth).....and a bit of spray paint to freshen up the handles. So pretty! So sturdy--should stand up to a teen aged boy, don't you think? And that stubborn stain? Can't even see it!
Coming soon---the desk from the Habitat Restore!
