Before picture:
Little helper love that it does not stink and easily washes off until you wax so it was a easy stress free project for me being pregnant and did not have to worry about my little helper either. Listened to some Backstreet Boys while we worked
He said I had good jams. ;) see if he agrees in 10 years.
Deciding for the finish on the top of the table. Black "granite" top with a straight dark wax finish. Far left on the example. 8 had thought I wanted to do a lime oak finish wi th so cream streaks in it. But there was not grain on my super smooth table. And since this was a no sanding project I went with just a solid finish.
Chairs painted on coco before the dark wax. The dark wax brought a lot more green out then I was expecting but they turned into a nice rich finish that I love!
The table legs half waxed and one chair waxed. Single coat dark wax was all I need the more rub a polishing the shinier the finish.
Table painted in charcoal before wax finish.
To be completely honest I am not in love. It is more unique and I enjoy the originality of it now but I feel like it needs some kind of feminine touch to light it up. Considering a light lacey stencil or maybe scratching in some "grain"...
Special thanks to Mom and Dad Britton Conway and Elle in the end it was a great team effort to finish "my " project. Love ya!
Awesome! I think it looks great! Now I know it can be done...I'll try and tackle mine. I did repaint my kitchen stools first to see how it worked like you suggested, and I love them! Thanks for all the help! 😊
