This was the table I found on the side of the road outside of a lady's house. She is constantly putting out amazing stuff, I couldn't believe I found this! I had to wait until I was off of school, but I finally went and got it with my grandpa's truck! It was such an adventure trying to get it home, I was so thankful I had the truck. It really was a mess when I first got it. The paint was awful. Like, really bad. So I used paint stripper to get all of the old paint off! 7 hours later, I was sanding it and pulling off the old wood on the top. It had several layers and was so difficult to peel off! My brother ended up helping me pry it all off since I wasn't as strong. The next day, I took wood glue and glued down this pretty rose plywood on top. Then, I got to sit down and repaint the legs and base of the table. It was most definitely a weekend project. It took a LOT of sanding, patience, and painting. Once it was finally done, I realized that it was so worth the wait. I finally had somewhere to work on and paint on in my little craft studio! It was beyond perfect. Plus, are you not obsessed with that metal siding?! It's my favorite part about the table, it is so unique! |
