As you can see, our table was getting a little warn. The varnish was showing signs of age and lots of use, so I decided it needed a face lift. I was in a restaurant one day and thougth to myself "it would be nice if our table had a nice finish like this." I went to home depot and found some stuff called "Super glaze. " And decided to try it.
Here is the before picture...this is after I had started sanding....and without the leaf, then I realized I had to do the leaf as well so it would be even.
And here is the finished product!!! I was so happy when I saw it in the morning! It was quite a process, so I was happy it turned out well. I learned a lot, andwould probably do much better next time, but nonetheless, it is great.
A close up of the wood. Oak is hard because it is a really grainy wood-it doesn't get perfectly flat. I sanded, sanded, sanded and then sanded some more. I wasn't sure the color would be even, but was so pleased when the natural color came out so well.

That table looks awesome!!!! Great job!!!
Wow, you did a great job with that table. It looks brand new!! Loving it. And the room looks so good. I like your pictures etc.. and the green is a really great color. I just painted my laundry room a really great green like that, kind of pistachio or something.
I love what you did. I just love decorating! You were brave to do it all by yourself, and while your hubby was away.
Thanks for sharing :)
