I took a well loved vintage accent table and gave it a brand new fresh look in a rustic green finish. Let me share how.

This piece is solid wood on all but the top which is wood veneer top and bottom over a wood frame. All the pieces connect with screws that have a wood knob making it very easy to take apart if needed as well as easy to tighten. The table was scrubbed thoroughly with
Dixie
Belle white lightning cleaner and a scrub brush, rinsed well and dried.
The veneer was lifting along one edge so was reglued, clamped and left to dry overnight.
Once the first coat went on; with amazing coverage I have to say, I noticed areas needing filling.
Dixie Belle mud applied with my finger tip filled them perfectly. Once dry the areas were lightly sanded with a
Dixie Belle sanding
sponge.
A second coat was brushed on, perfect!
Above is a video on how I did this blending.
I applied it with the fabulous
Dixie Belle scarlet
brush. This works well to go on smoothly, fast and with minimal brush strokes. Two coats of clear poly were added and it was complete.
