allanaDIY is fun!
I've spent the afternoon sanding down and preparing an old table for it's new starring role as a TV stand in our bedroom. It needed a lot of TLC as the varnish was chipped, cracked and peeling in places. There were also rather a lot of water rings and random marks. All gone now!
Two hours of conscientious sanding later and it was beautifully smooth to the touch :D I've just finished off the first coat of dark mahogany varnish and it already looks fab. I reckon it'll take another two coats of varnish to match the chest of drawers/bedside tables upstairs.
By Monday night I should be able to move all the TV gubbins over to the nice and shiny table and get rid of the old faux-pine unit. Huzzah!
