While at Goodwill with my mom, we found this beauty:
It was only $5!!! We were so excited! My mom was so sweet and bought it for me.
I loved the table but wasn’t crazy about the wood color. So I decided to stain it. First, I gave it a good and thorough sanding!
If I could do it over again, I would have used a wood stripper. Sanding took FOREVER! The wood stripper that I usually use you can find here.
I used this stain. The Walnut was beautiful! This was after the first coat.
I wanted it a little darker so I let it sit overnight and stained it a second time.
Once again, I let the stain sit overnight and was happy with the color. I then used my paint sprayer and did two polycrylic top coats to protect it from the wear and tear.
And here it is! I am so happy with the color and how it turned out!
It really brings the room together!
I did the chairs as well. It’s like I have a whole new dining area! I spent $13 on the chairs and $5 on the table, so with supplies, I spent around $40 total! What do you all think?! If you have any questions I’d love to hear them! Thanks for visiting and I love you all!

You are so sweet! Thank you! I can’t tell you how much that means to me! ?❤️
What color did you use on the chairs. Also did you sand them before painting and did you do a spray paint on them
Hi Jackie! I actually used a color called Timberlake Teal by Glidden. There’s a link to it on the chair post here I did sand, prime and paint them with a sprayer. I’m sure that you could paint them by hand, it just might take you a while.
