I love me some pine ya’ll.
In my opinion it is a humble and beautiful wood. I love the way it ages and I love the way it takes paint and stains. Plus it is usually more in my budget unlike mahogany or oak.
Today’s victim:
I found this table on a Facebook yard sale site for $30. It may turn out to be the most versatile piece I have ever turned out. See those pulls? They may be the weirdest things that I’ve ever come across. They were held in place by wires, no screws at all. I had to get Big Daddy to remove them albeit in his weakened state. The only thing wrong with this one was it was way too orange. Apparently a lot of people prefer to get rid of something like this rather than just refinish it.
Fine by me 🙂
Lord ya’ll what a difference.
Clean, simple, classic.
White paint, dark stain and simple pulls.
No Rocket Science involved.
No need really. This is not a little piece of furniture. It is actually quite substantial, with very substantial legs. It is probably a console table but it could a buffet, a kitchen island with big casters on it, a nice sized desk in an home office or hold a TV.
I used General Finished Bone White on this one and it took 3 coats but it was sooooo worth it to get this finish. The top is my old standby, Dark Walnut stain. Pine loves it!
I am really loving using these label pulls. I found these on Amazon, $10 for 30 of them. You will be seeing them a lot. It never crossed my mind to use anything shiny or sparkly, just something simple and sort of utilitarian / industrial. It just works with this piece.
These are not my books,
They are Big Daddy’s books, the weirdo……
I’m still afraid of the dark.
Happy Halloween!

So beautiful. Love it.
Sitting here … shaking my head in amazement! You took a $30 pine ‘desk’ and turned it into something I would expect to find priced at hundreds of dollars in a furniture store. I am guessing this one will do very well in your shop – it’s truly stunning!
Here’ to you beautiful by right:). Thank you for always being so kind to me❤️
