From Bad To Worse...

but inwards a adept way!

I bought this tabular array a few years agone off of Craig's List to utilisation on my dorsum patio.  I painted it dark correct afterward I got it, as well as bring had to comport upon it upwardly several times.  It is nether cover, but when the pelting is particularly difficult or blowing the tabular array does larn wet.  It was starting to expect a lilliputian tired again, as well as I decided that I was tired of fighting it!  I wanted to larn far expect distressed on purpose, as well as thus whatever hereafter nicks or peels would represent correct in.

I used my handy palm sander as well as only went at it, hitting all of the edges as well as the legs.  The pigment was peeling as well as seat out unopen to the bottom of the legs, thus I actually went unopen to that expanse well.  Then, I picked a few spots amongst non bad pigment on the hold upwardly yesteryear as well as made them to a greater extent than obvious, as well as added a few to a greater extent than worn places equally well.  

After sanding, I wiped everything downward as well as went over the whole tabular array amongst Old English linguistic communication Scratch Cover.  Love that stuff!  It darkened upwardly the bare woods as well as blended inwards some of the scuffs from the sander.  After letting that dry out for a scrap I sprayed the tabular array amongst a few coats of polyurethane, you lot know, thus that pretty complete wouldn't larn messed up.  :)  Kidding.  I only wanted it to seal everything upwardly thus at that topographic point weren't whatever patches of bare woods exposed to the elements.

While I was at it, I pulled a few side tables out of a storage closet.  I bring several of these that I bought a few years agone on clearance at Hobby Lobby, but the others had fallen over i likewise many times as well as the tops were broken (that's a drinking glass inset).  My master copy innovation was to larn a few pieces of tile cutting to represent the top, but I had ii tables that were however intact as well as decided to only give those a facelift.

I sprayed primer on the drinking glass tops, lightly sanded, as well as gave the whole tabular array a coat of Krylon Metallic gilt paint.  Then, I used my stencil that didn't hold upwardly out thus good on an outdoor rug and tried in i lawsuit again on the tabular array top. 

I dear how it turned out!  I volition give those tops a few coats of poly equally well.
  

I was however finishing these upwardly when I photographed them-the pigment was however a lilliputian wet!-so I'll allow them cure a scrap as well as larn everything all styled upwardly to demo you lot the dorsum patio all together...hopefully on Thursday.
