I love the simplicity of this table and the overall design of it, just not a fan on the color so I decided to change it!

Step One – Remove hardware + begin to sand
This table was mostly particle board covered in veneer – not my preference but ya know I’m working with what I got. That being said veneer is very, very thin. So going into sanding I knew I would need to have a light hand. I sanded most of this down with an 80 grit paper with my orbital sander. Most of the corners and smaller edges were sanded by hand with a 60 grit paper and a 60/80 grit combo sanding block. Sanding tends to not be my favorite so this table was definitely a labor of love to get the end result. Over 3 days or so I completed the sanding process.

Step Two – Seal
The look I was going for on this table was a natural, light look. I have redone past pieces and just sealed the top and did not stain and loved it, so I decided to do that with this entire piece. I used my go to, holy grail sealer – polycrylic in matte and sealed everything with at least 3 coats – top 4-5 coats.
This picture shows left to right, not sealed vs sealed. I love the way the grain popped when it was sealed.

Everything all sealed up
