It’s Friday and time for Show and Tell again! To see more Show & Tell’s visit There is No Place Like Home.
My parents picked this table up for free in 2005. They gave it to us and we have been using it since then, but I always kept a tablecloth over it.
Recently the tablecloth got beat up and I had to throw it away. Since I don’t have another we were just using the table plain.
This prompted my husband to refinish the table top. He bleached it, sanded it, and recoated it.
Today he brought it back to the dining room and put the leg back on it. It only took a week. He pointed out all the places he had messed up and where he couldn’t get the deep scratches out; but I still think it’s much nicer, don’t you? It makes me not want to put food on it.

That’s beautiful! It may sound strange, but I love tables. There’s something so cozy and warm about the dining table that a family gathers around. Your hubby is talented - he did a fantastic job!! Wonderful that you got to save your treasure. :o)

Your hubby did a magnificent job on the table. The little things he wasn’t able to remove just gives it so much more character. It is gorgeous.

Dents are character marks. I remember my mom pointing out marks on the edge of a chest where I had chomped when I was teething.
You have a beautiful table.

I love your new table. So neat when you are able to take something old and make it new - and beautiful again.

Love it. As Rachel Ashwell always says, pieces have to show the lives they have lived. But I love the golden glow. Enjoy!
Blessings and bliss

Your husband did an awesome job with the table. Now it doesn’t need a cloth to hide it. It needs a cloth to protect it. LOL!

I think he did an excellent job refinishing it! I love it when old wood is made beautiful again:-) xo
