Updating a Farmhouse Style Table and Bench with General Finishes

Welcome back my Beauties.

I am finally back with a makeover.

A while back I picked up this orangey pine table and bench.

You can't see from the pic, but it was pretty scratched and dented on the top, and the legs had some nice chew marks from a dog.

It was in great shape structurally, just needed a little lovin!

I knew I didn't want to go full sand and stripping so I lightly sanded the top and cleaned it and pulled out my 

General Finishes Antique Walnut Gel Stain.

You can see from the photo here, what a difference just one coat of the gel stain did. I did a second coat after it dried just to add more warmth.

Once that was dry I decided to protect the top with

General Finishes High Performance Top Coat in Flat

While the top was finishing drying I mixed up a custom color of

General Finishes Milk Paint in Driftwood and Persian Blue 

It was 3 parts Persian Blue and 1 part Driftwood.

I just wanted to gray up the blue a little.

I love how the gray blue worked with the warm walnut color of the top.

I am also happy to say it sold in like 2 days.

INSERT HAPPY DANCE :)

I love how the gel stain, accented the little grooves and markings that had been left on the top.

Hopefully I will get some more furniture makeovers done before the snow flies...

Its coming, I can feel it.

So I better get moving.

Until next time,

Have a Beautiful day!
