Another DIY project finished for our future home! This cedar table was made by my grandfather about 30 years ago. It was in rough shape when I inherited it, but with a little muscle it has new life! I decided to paint the legs an antique ivory to really make the cedar top pop. I can't wait to style it with ivory chairs and colorful dishes. Originally, this table was natural cedar with a thick coat of polyurethane. I used Citristrip to remove the poly and had to repeat the process three times to get down to the wood. I suggest a spray varnish remover because it was easy to use and worked really well. Once the surface was clean I painted the legs with 3 coats of Behr "Innocence" and stained the top with two coats of Minwax "Espresso." Lastly, I coated the top surface with two coats of Minwax Polycrylic to make it safe to eat off of. I finished this project over the course of several sunny weekends.
