    oh, wow. that table looks great. I would never have thought to look for unfinished tables.
    I must say, your “distress kit” is pretty intimidating. I’d hate to be caught trespassing on your yard. lol.

      I thought the same thing Heidi. It looked like a torture room down there when we were prepping. 🙂

  4. I did this to a thrifted table that I made two toned with the top remaining wood which I distressed. It was the BEST stress reliever hitting the mess out of that table top. Love what you did with the torch!

  5. as usual you are a fountain of information for the DIY minded!

    May I ask where you found the table? I’ve been shopping around for an unfinished table just like this one for several months, and like you said, everything seems like it’s a bit over budget.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.

Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.

On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.

For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]
