Refurbishing a Wooden Coffee Table
Making old furniture into something modern and stylish is a great way to save money and create an updated look to a room. Refurbishing a wooden coffee table can be a fun and rewarding project, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced handyman. Here are some tips to help you make the most of your project and get the best possible results.
Gather Materials
Before you start any refurbishing project, you’ll need to gather a few materials:
- Wooden coffee table
- Sandpaper
- Paint and brush
- Wax/polyurethane
Prepare the Table
Once you’ve gathered the materials, it’s time to prepare the table. Start by sanding off any existing finish and smooth out any rough edges or dents. This will help the paint or stain you’re going to apply adhere better.
Apply a Finish
Now that you’ve prepped the table, you can start applying a finish. For a natural look, you can use a wood stain or clear polyurethane to seal and protect the wood. If you’re looking for something bold and unique, you can always use a bright, bold paint color.
Apply Wax or Polyurethane
Finally, you’ll want to apply a protective wax or polyurethane to the finished table. This will help seal the wood and give the table a long-lasting finish. Apply two to three coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next.
Enjoy!
Once your table is finished, you can admire your work and enjoy your newly refurbished wooden coffee table. With a bit of time and effort you can create a beautiful piece of furniture and save money in the process.
