If you’re into DIY, but working on a budget then you NEED to be stalking Facebook marketplace and your local swap pages. I had been looking to change up the feel of our dining room decor, and really had my heart set on a round pedestal table with a gorgeous detailed base. If you’ve looked into purchasing a dining table with any sort of character then you’re well aware they can cost a small fortune. Diligent stalking of the marketplace let me to a table with a gorgeous base for a cool $75. SOLD.

The top needed some SERIOUS work, but that base made my heart skip a beat. Having never stripped a piece of furniture in my life, I naturally chose to tackle this piece as my first project.
Here’s a list of the supplies I used.
- Citristrip
- Saran Wrap
- Stripping pads
- Plastic Scraper
- Old rags
- Drop cloth
- Sponges
- Gloves
- Bleach ( I used regular Clorox)
- Liming Wax
