DIY

I’m not really a DIY kinda of gal.  But, I took the plunge and decided to restain our entry table.  Well, I guess I shouldn’t say I did it because it was really Chris who did the work  But I spear headed the project and that counts for something, right?

In our new house we have dark wood floors and this entry table is a lighter wood.  It just needed to be darkened up to flow better with our floors. 

So Chris brought out the sander, we picked out some stain, and we (or really just Chris) went to work (and I supervised).

After Chris started sanding a small section I think we both started doubting ourselves.  He asked me if I was sure that this was what I wanted, but at that point it seemed a little too late to turn back.  So, we forged ahead.

And this is the final outcome.  After it was done we decided that it probably needs a protective coat, so we’ll be doing that, but overall it looks much better with a darker stain.

Yea for our DIY project success!
