27th February 2020
Up early again as someone was coming to collect a side table Kelli posted on Marketplace last night, and was snapped up before we went to bed.
I put the final coat on to the centre leaves of the dining table, I just want it out of here now.
I worked on another staining job for a dresser that goes out at the weekend.
The stain that the customer supplied was like mud. The first coat was a bit light, even though I let it sit for five minutes, but after a second one it was more like a rutted dirt track.
Kelli was busy on a couple of side tables that she hoped to post this evening.
We have good success with these, which is why we have a pair of modified turquoise pedestals (not the final colour) and the free desk that we picked up yesterday that is still in the truck.
There is a mid century dresser that is causing us a dilemma because we can’t decide what colours to paint it. We were hoping to leave it as a stained wood finish, but there was a mark in the top that I steamed and sanded out. Unfortunately as soon as the stain went on it stood out again, so we need to think again.
Another Lifetime to go
