Sewing table: redo

Here it is: the redo of my old sewing table. It was a find at an antique store some years ago. The table was unfinished, and had wobbly legs. It was likely originally a makeup vanity with a fabric skirt around the lower section. There were some small nails still around the top edges. If there were ever a matching stool, it is obviously long gone. After removing those small nails and sanding, this is the end result. The table now matches it's chest of drawers, painted in the same Valspar® Brisk Olive and the top varnished with the same olde maple stain. The original drawer pull was a simple wood round one. It was replaced with a round decorative, colorful pull that was in my stash for a long time. The drawer is handy for scissors, seam rippers, and other sewing notions. Have you ever refinished any wood furniture? Please continue reading.

Here is the original state of the table. It appears that no one had ever painted or stained it. Unfinished-looking. Maybe it was sanded, and never refinished. 'So happy to own the table, and to have refinished it after all of those years.

Blessings, Danice G.
