The project

I found this beauty on Facebook Marketplace and thought it had so much potential.

I started by sanding the whole table to its original raw colour and discovered a beautiful timber underneath. To add a bit more of a modern and interesting look I painted the bottom part black. The final touch was adding these beautiful black leather and gold handles. To protect the top, I added a clear varnish.

Materials

• White Knight 100ml Black Satin Water Based Splashes Interior Paint

• Timber Protect 250ml Satin One Coat Clear Water Based Varnish

• 40 grit and 60 grit sandpaper

• Lane black leather handle
