Yes, I am still alive...it has been soooo hot here lately I have either been at the pool or inside in the AC taking care of my sweet baby!
I found this end table on Craigslist for $30. I normally would not pay $30 for a piece like this but it is solid wood and that makes it worth it in my book.
The only downfall about this end table is that the previous owners painted and they did it the right way with primer and all. This increased my sanding time a little bit. Here it is all sanded. Look at that gorgeous wood grain! Who would paint over something like that?!
I applied 2 coats of some stain and then spent a solid 10 minutes picking 20 gnats out of the tacky stain. Humid weather is not my friend (for staining furniture or my hair).
Then I applied a top coat of polystain. One of my most favorite products ever.
And finally...here it is in our living room!
Check out this AMAZING lamp! I found the lamp base at an estate sale for $3!!! I thought it was just a neat looking lamp until I put a new bulb in it and turned it on...it was like magic! Check it out!!!
