Sometimes you just cannot pass up a good deal, this was one of those times!
Great little table love the bow front and sweet drawer.
The top has seen better days.
I started this project with sanding. A 220 grit sand paper to start with a finished it up with 400 to 600 and a final rub down with steel wool.
My go to tools are Ryobi orbital and detail sanders. Battery powered and I am amazed at how long these batteries last!
I choose Dixie Bell Sand Bar because it matched the colors in the wall paper well.
This was a super easy project. It tool 3 thin smooth coats and I sanded lightly between each coat with 0000 steel wool. This sanding step between coats will make your finished texter smooth as glass. I top coated with Min Wax finishing paste in natural. I put two coats on the top buffing to a hard finish and lightly sanding with steel wool. It feels like glass.!
The interior of the drawer I hit with a little bit of left over blue grey primer, sanded with steel wool and waxed it with Min Wax finishing paste wax in natural.
I cut the wall paper to fit in the back and sides on the bottom. I modge podged only the back of the paper , placed it in to the recessed back and sides , smoothed out as may bubbles as I could and let it dry. Done, wall paper does not require a top coat.
This is not a perfect piece of furniture but sure is cute. Perfect as a bed side table in a little girls room or a side table in the 4 season room.
Blessings to you and Happy Mothers day!
