David’s mom found this table on the side of the road totally FREE! Under her instruction, David and I are about to get a lesson in refurbishing furniture 101. Our plan is to paint it white to add another side table in our living room. I like the lion handle. It’s my favorite part. I kept telling David this project was “restoring the roar” which is a detroit lions reference. That I’m not sure if they would find condescending or encouraging.
We are trucking along, working on preparing to paint it white, until we made a quite a discovery. Underneath the chipping yellow is beautiful cherry wood. Mission to spray paint white abandoned, we are now going to strip the yellow paint off and bring back the wood finish.
Our gracious and knowledgable guide introduced us to citristrip. It works like a charm and is even usable indoors. Well, the stripping was going perfectly, but I found myself thinking the wood was a little too cherry and the red tones wouldn’t be right \. All that to say, welcome back, white. Why did I ever doubt you?
