Painted Furniture November

I thought the painting season was over. Sunday DH brought home 5 pieces of small furniture that need quite a bit of TLC, (and some fairly big repairs) cleaning, sanding, sealing undercoating and painting.

I picked the 'easiest' piece first. It just needed cleaning, a bit of sanding, some paint (and should have started with primer-sealer first) and some Satin Varithane to make it back into the furniture fold.

Here is the before. You've seen these D shaped small tables many times. They continue to be popular - good for a lamp or coffee cup or a pile of books. Easy to move around. Fits into small spaces.

Washing - done

Bit of top sanding - done

Painting - started

After 2 coats of CeCe Caldwell Vintage White

had to dig out the Zinsser Primer-Sealer Stain Killer Bulls Eye 1-2-3 to cover the bleed through from the original finish, mostly on the turned edges, inside of top, parts of top ...

Added a final coat of CeCe Vintage White.

Painted outside today, a sunny 14 Celsius, 

needed to dry inside before adding the Satin Varithane

Finished.
