We finally got around to refinishing the picnic table the old home owners left for us. Check out the "before" picture above. It had good bones!
This is going to be short and sweet. Mainly because the Olympic Maximum Stain and Sealant we got from Lowe's worked like a charm. It's meant for outdoor use and you can still see a bit of the wood grain.
Total Time: 2 hours (this includes the time it took for our table to dry in the sun)
Materials:
1. Old picnic table (or unfinished picnic table)
2. 1 quart of Olympic Maximum Stain and Sealant (we asked for a quart and the woman at Lowe's accidentally mixed a gallon)
3. Drop cloth
4. Paint Rollers
5. Paint Roller Tray
6. Hand sander and P40 sandpaper
Instructions:
1. Wash table and let dry
2. Sand as needed
3. Wipe table clean of dust
4. Put table on drop cloth and paint!
We used one coat on the majority of the table. Two coats on the table top and seat tops! And the patio is holding up!
The color we used was Copper Henna, which just happens to match an Ikat outdoor fabric I'm using to recover a few chairs.
Looks so much better, don't you think?
What's on your project list this weekend? And yes, I'm already talking about this weekend!
