Things are getting a bit stressful as the final reveal of the One Room Challenge approaches. I still have a few projects to wrap up. I hope to have something to show you on Monday that will take your breath away. I'm hyperventilating just thinking about the pressure.
I managed to give that CL table a makeover.
It started like this.
I gave it a few coats of an espresso gel stain. I don't have a favorite stain, any oil based gel stain works well.
Find the center of the back of the table, and mark it on a piece of painters tape.
Do the same for the center of the wall.
Pre-drill the back of the table
I was prepared to cut off the back legs, but my CL table had removable legs
You can see how red the previous stain was. I didn't use the gel stain on the back legs that were being removed.
Line the table up with the center of the wall.
Once the table is in place, throw a level on it before screwing it into the wall.
I used 3" screws and washers to attach the table to the wall.
Once the table was secure to the wall, I decided to add a touch of gold with a goldleaf paint pen.
I love how it looks under the gold mirror. Now I'm off to work on more projects. What are you working on this weekend?
