Day Three - Staining and Polyurethane

Today is the day!! We get to stain my table with a color....we are using Mahogany...since I am not doing the chairs I needed to find a color that matched really close to the color.  Check out my finished product......

 

 

 

S Hooks!!

I am trying to figure out what to do to my closet...I want to keep it organize and free up some space.  I was looking in a Martha Stewart Magazine and there was an interesting article about how to organize your closet.  The article talked about using "S" hooks to hang up your purses.  Remember when I told you I was in Home Depot, those were the hooks I was looking for.  I didn't find them.  I ordered them off of my old faithful "Amazon"  NowI can get my purses off the floor.. I used  ten hooks...that told me that I need more purses so I can use all 20 hooks!!! lol

Day 2 - Sanding and Staining I think...

 

 

Today we are finishing sanding the table..we have stripped it and now its in its natural state.  I kinda like the table this way...its so natural..lol  So next we need to put this stuff on the wood to give it some sort of shine...and let it sit for a day I guess...i am not sure if it should be that long but with my schedule I needed some days....

 

 

 

 

Day One - Sanding the table

Today is the day I will finally start to sand my table.  I am so excited about this project.  Of course I have enlisted help because I really dont have a clue on what I am doing...lol

 

Sanding the table was no fun...it was really hard work.
