My husband and I had been looking for a dining room table in a farmhouse style to fit in our new home. It had to be a specific size and color. I had seen many tutorials on upcycled furniture and knew exactly what I wanted and couldn't find one anywhere. So being a crafty person and not afraid to try new mediums I set to work on finding the perfect used table and chairs in our local online garage sale site. And there it was! The most beat up table and chairs I could find. It was heavy solid wood and just begging for me to make it beautiful again.
