Stained and Painted Design Table Top & Video Interview

Stained & Painted Design Table Top.

I recently delivered another piece of furniture to my client, June. I wanted to share her stained and painted design table top and chairs with everyone. She kindly agreed to a Facebook Live video in her home – Yay!

The video below is the recorded live. It features the bespoke dining set I created for her. I hand stained and painted a floral design on top to compliment the fabric design on the chairs.

It was a bit of a nightmare at first. The seller said she was in great nick but this old girl was very neglected. Her springs were sticking through the padding and the strapping drooped. In fact, she had strapping over strapping. A former attempt to repair drooping seats I assume. What a mess – so many staples!

I rebuilt the seats completely; replacing the springs with high density foam and wadding. My husband pulled out most of the staple – THANK GOODNESS! That is not my favourite job – no sir-ere!

The dining table top wasn’t the most perfect dining table top either. It had a few small imperfection. This make it a perfect candidate for a stained and painted design.

The beginning of the painted and stained design. The fine lines are pencil marks as I paint not scratches.

In our interview June shares why she chose painted furniture over antique wood. I’m glass she did. We both agree that the dining set much better now. No more boring brown stain. Now we can celebrate the lovely grain in the table top, but with a unique design as well. It was a pleasure to create this dining set for June and her family. May they enjoy their one of a kind pieces for many years to come.

Thank you June for being my very first Facebook Live interview!
