This coffee table is HUGE! it's 3ft square and really heavy the wood on the top is nearly 2 inches thick!
I had to sand down the top which was no problem and didn't take long at all - but there were marks and a lot of wax on there, which soon disappeared once I got cracking with the sander!
I removed the top from the base as I find this much easier for painting and for Laura to work on the graphics. - a good tip is to always number parts when you take out screws - I use chalk to mark the numbers - it's easy to see and can be rubbed off easily when you have finished your piece.
As this table had so much wax on it I decided to use Autentico Chalk Paint again - I had plenty left after my last project
Autnentico Chalk Paint to the Rescue and I knew it would soak up and cover over the old wax residue.
Laura has done a fabulous job on the graphic - yet again! she is so clever and has such a steady hand - it looks amazing! We used
The Graphics Fairy as usual.
I have projects stacking up now and will post as soon as they are done.

I love this style of coffee table, with the shelf underneath. I wish I had enough space in my living room for a coffee table, but I think it would feel too overcrowded.
ReplyDeleteGreat makeover, the graphic is amazing, your daughter did such an fantastic job !
