Melisa's Life

We have wanted to refinish our kitchen table and chairs for a really long time, but just haven't had the motivation. Since we have been doing some work on the house, we decided we would go for it this weekend. This first pic is Day one: us trying to sand it. Haha...it didn't work.
Day 2: we tried stripping it. C bought two different kinds, one worked, one didn't. It was horrible, but eventually we got it done. Day 3: we start putting the stain on...it turns a bluish gray and we start freaking out. The stupid girl at Home Depot mixed us the wrong color. We strip what we had done again and start over. Bleh! So, after 4 days, 2 rolls of paper towels, 4 trips to Home Depot and a lot of cursing, here is our new table and chairs :) We finally got to use it last night, yay!
