Refurbish Kitchen Table
Give your kitchen table a new look!
Decide what colors best fit your home.
I had an old oak table but other furniture in my home is Walnut.
Apply Citristrip Gel to Table
I left this on for about an hour and then scraped it off .
If you leave it on for a long period of time you'll have trouble with the stain penetrating the wood.
Sand Table
I started sanding with a 60 and finished with 220.
Apply Stain
Before you start staining be sure that your table is clean.
I started with dark walnut Minwax and then used Espresso.
Apply a thin coat and be sure to wipe off excess stain.
Apply Multiple Coats of Stain
Depending on how dark you want your table, apply several layers of stain.
Apply Protective Topcoat
I used Minwax Polycrylic Protective Finish.
Apply a thin layer.
Between each layer I sanded by hand using a fine grit sandpaper
Chalk Paint
I used American Decor Chalk Paint ultra-matte.
I decided on a light color (Lace)
You will need to apply several coats.
Once I applied several layers of paint, I applied one coat of Polycrylic finish.
