Sew-inspiring

Here is my little drop leaf table cleaned up and ready for a little sewing action. I really love this piece and wanted a just a little bit of color to brighten it up.

I used some of the leftover light blue 'oops'paint that I had from the spring on the legs and side drawer. The small glass knob cleaned up well with some hot soapy water. 

The top surface was beautiful and I just wanted it cleaned up.  Acquired furniture always needs a good scrub down (especially CL finds). After sanding off the finish I applied Minwax Pre-Stain Wood Conditioner to help prevent streaks and blotches prior to staining.

Once dry I applied my favorite stain -- Minwax Dark Walnut to the surface. Two coats of wipe on Poly later and it was looking simply amazing!
