Let me introduce myself
Bought a cheap table and chairs off marketplace, thought it was all solid wood. After sanding with 80 grit with an orbital sander and 3 coats of citrustrip, finally decided it may not be just a thick coat of polyurethane as I initially thought. Feel free to laugh with me at my very rookie mistake. 🙂
Also, open to opinions. I stained the chair seats dark walnut and am doing pale blue chalk paint for the rest of the chair. Should I keep working on the table and do white chalk paint on top (have small kids and I don’t love the look of white tabletops). Or should I attempt removing the veneer off our current table (definitely cheaper wood and the veneer is already worn off in multiple places) and restraining that to dark walnut on top? Thanks in advance.
