Hi, my sweet pals!

Currently is Trash to Treasure Tuesday and I am so fired up to share my hottest makeover with you and my pals. Don’t forget about, they are sharing theirs far too so be absolutely sure to scroll all the way down to capture their pleasurable makeovers too.

Nowadays I’m sharing the very last just one from my recent haul…

Now onto my following a single here…

Current Close Desk

But nowadays, it’s all about this $8 beauty…

orange oak side table with white dog

Dated, orange…time for a brand name new look.

I pulled this from my stash to give it a test.

bottle of paint stripper

I preferred that it was biodegradable AND drinking water cleanup. Indeed!

I brushed it on and covered it with plastic wrap then enable it sit for an hour or so.

I arrived again to look at and it was functioning good.

scraping off stripper

I scraped off all of the finish and bought most of the stain out. Brilliant.
AND the very finest part…I cleaned up the residue with drinking water! That was a important win.
So considerably less difficult (and significantly much less chemical substances) than cleaning up with mineral spirits, and so forth.

I’ll attempt it out on a thing painted future and report back.

I then sanded the prime and base shelf.

Eradicating that finish certain saved me a ton of time sanding.

I cleaned up all the dust from sanding and then utilized my fave, Driftwood Stain & Finishing oil to give it a model new shade and glimpse.

I utilized only just one coat and enable it dry.

At the time it was dry, I cleaned up the legs and the rest of the wood with a TSP different. Then I used Extremely Grip and allow it sit for the relaxation of the afternoon.

brushing on the ultra grip

I followed that by taping up the bottom shelf about the legs and painting it in a pretty heat-toned white.
I didn’t want it bright white so this was the best shade.

Oh! But as I was cleansing all those legs, I recognized that it was lacking a piece of wood trim. Bummer. (scroll up to the “before” photograph to see the pieces that I’m talking about)

missing wood piece

I hadn’t seen that when I acquired it. Oh effectively, I just determined to get rid of them all considering the fact that they weren’t actually structurally necessary.
And I actually think it appears a lot more modern day, much less dated, with these absent. So earn-acquire!

I loaded the holes leftover with wooden putty and sanded them to paint.

I prepare to give the total factor (leading and base shelf involved) a coat or two of Matte Tricky Coat. I want to permit it remedy a bit prior to making use of that nevertheless.

In the meantime, listed here is the current stop desk with its brand name new glimpse.
