RECAP: From Dumpster to Kitchen

RECAP:



BEFORE: table from side of the dumpster


sanding the entire table





never would have gotten off all the gunk without this!



came with attachments and a case












prime the whole table with a brush

rolled on Brushed Orange paint







rolled on a second coat of the Brushed Orange on the top






using Folk Art acrylic paint for the edge



this is what I've used so far


used a 'chip brush' to paint the whole table
yellow (BM Dalila) EXCEPT the top




started sanding around the top edges... to see...










getting the layers of all the paint colors and wood





So far, I am into this table for less than $50.00.  But because the only thing I will use up and not use again is the Brushed Orange paint, I'm looking at it as so far it really the only real cost is $2.94!!  I am liking what I am seeing and very happy with my dumpster table!   I guess I can actually start calling her my TREASURE!

TREASURE!!!

  1. I love your table especially that orange. It reminds me of a dreamsicle. It turned out so pretty with all the layers showing through. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving kind words about my kitchen remodel.
