Nana's Table Refinished

I was searching for the right table for our kitchen. We don't have a lot of space in our eating area. I finally let my sister convince me to refinish my Nana's old table. Even though I had never refinished anything before I am glad I listened to my sister! It was a long process to get all the old stain off. But it turned out great!

Patio Table from Old Fence Boards

A neighbour took down part of their fence. Lucky for me I spotted the fence boards before it went to the trash. With the help of my father, I cut all the pieces and planned out the table. With the help of my hubsand we assembled the table and benches.
Cost:
Lumber = FREE
Paint and hardware = approx $100

Old fence boards cut and ready to be assembled.

Some assembly required lol

I wasn't sure I wanted to paint the table at first because I love the natural colour but I am happy I did in the end.

Went with a semi-transparent outdoor stain.

Very happy with how it turned out! Love the colour and that it still looks rustic. Now I need to find the perfect chairs for the ends.
