We got this couch desk from our favorite save in Door County right here in Wisconsin. We go to the store each 12 months on a mini vaca hoping to find a van full of treasures within the uncooked to turn. Sometimes we force away with a full vehicle and now and again we power away empty. It’s part of the a laugh, thinking what we might find whenever.
It changed into solid but in pretty awful shape cosmetically. Apparently it had been painted an orange and have been quite abused over time.
You can see little orange drips on the bottom, so it need to have been a person’s project. Not each person knows the way to save a bit to the point it looks new once more.
1. Removed the veneer
2. Sanded the whole piece
three. Filled holes and scratches
And I:
3. Cleaned with Krud Kutter (the gallon pay attention is the excellent deal)
4. Detail sanded by way of hand
5. Stained the top with Java Gel from General Finishes
6. Sealed the top with Wipe on Gel Top Coat from General Finishes
7. Painted the legs with a Bronze Metallic Paint with the aid of Chroma Molten Metals
eight. Protected the legs with CrystaLac’s Gloss Polyurethane in Gloss
I used gloss to keep the glitz of the metal paint.
To beautify the pinnacle, I stenciled with the same steel paint and topcoated with the gloss CrystaLac polyurethane and in the ultimate coats added a bit of the steel paint to feature some shimmer.
The shade pop of the legs and embellished top will upload interest to any room and can be simply just glitzy enough to be a splendid backdrop for excursion decorations.
