I fell in love when I saw this unusual table. That's not a good thing when you're at an auction. Go here to see the before, as she sat at the auction site.
And, click below for a quick tutorial on the transformation.
After both coats had dried, I then brushed on Minwax Special Walnut. You've heard all this before, haven't ya?? Sorry. But, when I find something that works for me, I stick with it.
Anyway..........I immediately wiped the Minwax off using a soft cloth. See how it changed the color and gave the piece a softer look.
I even brushed the Minwax on the little brass feet to brighten them up
Another quick makeover DONE. And, she went from oh so drab to WOW!!! Well, at least I think she did. I can imagine many uses for this unusual little table..........such as for desserts at one of your family dinners. Or, just covered in trailing plants. A lamp at center top, then books and pretties below.
Oh, and if you missed the 'tutt' for the little half table, go take a quick peek HERE.
And, here she is, Ms Duncan Phyfe.
