Sherry's table and chairs. Sherry and her husband removed the material before bring them to me. They decided to do that part themselves. The material they purchased for the chairs is gorgeous. I can't wait to see it completely finished.
AFTER
I used the same Valspar Antique White and Antique Glaze that I used on the hutch. I stripped the top and stained it with Kona color stain! My Fav.
I also found my new favorite table top sealer. I have tried a few now and finally found the best one. Sherry has six kids so it needed to be very durable. I refinished my sister's table and polyurethaned the top with 3 coats. I had planned on doing more but didn't have time. One month later and it had scratches. I will have to tell you that story another time....nightmare. Anyway.....So I talked to a very helpful lady at Lowes.
And so here is my TIP:
Epoxy- really think like a bar top. But it was not easy to work with and ended up being a nightmare! (My sister's table) I'm sure I did something wrong but I recommend trying this on a small project first.
Polyurethane- Great product but you would have to apply many coats to a table top. Best use for this is really any other project, dressers, chairs, anything you stain and need to seal and protect.
Urethane-This is what you want!! This is just thicker than the poly. You apply it basically the same way but it will go on much thicker. Make sure you use even strokes and don't over-brush. To get this beautiful think look only took 2 coats.
