From Wabblie to Wonderful

This table needed work, but nothing I can’t handle!

Time: 3 Days Cost: $10 Difficulty: Medium

• 

So I found this really cool 2tier scolloped table at an Antique store that was closing, it was in rough shape, had pieces missing, (which I forgot to take picture of) water spots, as you can see, and it was very wabblie! 

• 

So I got it home, cleaned it up, repaired the broken missing pieces

(which are un-noticeable)!

I also had to repair the legs as well, I decided I was going to paint and distress it! I know some people frown on painting vintage pieces, but because I don’t have a hand sander yet (on my wish list) I had to paint it.

• 

So I painted it, gave it a few coats (let dry in between coats)because it was a dark color, I had to put about 4 coats on it! I wanted to make sure it covered well.

After it was all dry ( I gave it 24 hrs)

I did a light distress, then I used a wax salve on it for a finished touch!

and here this!!! Wonderful!!!
