My Kitchen Table

So I decided to do something that I have never done before.  I bought this used table from my cousin and took it home to refurbish.  This isn't a great picture but it shows what it looked like when I got it home.  Notice the worn corner of the table.

I got out my sander and I sanded, and sanded, and sanded.  Then I sanded some more.  It took a lot longer to sand off the finish than I though it would.  I used three different grains of sand paper until it was down to just the raw wood.

Notice the difference between the two table shots.  That's all done with using a different grade of sandpaper.  I thought it was pretty cool but then again this was a fist time doing it for me.


And here is the final out come.  I love it!!  I stained the top ebony and used chalk paint on the chairs.  But I definitely need to paint my kitchen now!  Oh well that will be a project for a different day.
