This old table, although it looked quite decent on the outside, had been standing in the yard for many years, serving more as a garden decoration than functional furniture.
Over time and with exposure to the elements, it showed signs of wear: the wood darkened, cracked in places, and the varnish wore off.
Realizing that even the sturdiest types of wood deteriorate over time, I decided to give the table a second life.
I decided not to change its structure—it was still sturdy—but the surface needed attention. First, I carefully sanded the table, removing the old varnish and smoothing out any imperfections. Then, I applied a new layer of varnish to protect it from moisture and temperature changes.
I chose white as the color—it adds freshness and blends harmoniously into the garden atmosphere. I applied two coats of paint to ensure an even finish and create the effect of updated furniture.
Now, this table holds a special place in the garden, becoming a cozy spot for evening gatherings and picnics with friends. Thanks to its new look, it not only retained its purpose but also became a true decoration in our yard.
