It has been yet another busy week at Columbus Furniture Revival! We got accepted to the Spring Flea on May 6th which takes place on N. High Street in the Short North! We are very excited to be participating. We also got a custom order placed for a coffee table requested by our friend Mitch. I went over to his place to check out his new apartment and he told me he wanted a darker brown, stained not painted, coffee table. I searched and found a 3ft x 3ft coffee table and immediately got to work ( I told him I could have it ready by the following week!!!! I know, I am a little crazy).

This is the before (if you can imagine it without the stuff on it)….

I spent about 4 hours sanding that baby! I tried to use a gel paint/varnish stripper but it didn’t get the job done. It had such a heavy coat of polyurethane and stain and the legs have such intricate work that those alone took me 3 hours! The sanding process was finally complete!

It was now ready to be stained. I picked a dark brown stain and began to work on the legs. So far so good. Then I did the top of the table. It turned out even better than I could have hoped for! I sent Mitch a picture of the table to make sure it was to his liking and it was! The final step was to coat it with a poly. Don’t worry, Mom, I used a face mask the whole time!!!!

Before the polyurethane…

The completed piece!!!!!

Isn’t it pretty!!! I love it and I hope Mitch enjoys it in his new home!

Next time I will show you my completed laundry basket/cabinet which is really coming together! I can’t wait to share it with you all!
