Someone had discarded this solid wood kids table & chairs. It was varnished wood that was quite orange in colour. A light sanding was done all over. Painted the legs & sides white. Then did a light “whitewash” over the tops.
Now it looks fresh & delightful 💕

Ryobi sander and sandpaper replacement pads
Scuffed the sides & legs of table & chairs with Ryobi sander. Used a heavier sandpaper on the tops to really remove any existing varnish.

Hi @jseilsmuscat,
A warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community, it is fantastic to have you with us.
They've come up beautifully. It is truly incredible how much difference some sanding and a coat of paint can do.
Thank you for sharing this fantastic upcycling project that I'm sure your family will enjoy for years to come.
