Скачать или смотреть Furniture Flips - How to refresh a coffee table

Welcome to MasterStroke Flips! In this episode, serial thrift flipper Gretchen Lowe takes an old hexagon-shaped coffee table from dull to dramatic with help from Resene paint and stain.

Looking for a high-impact, budget-friendly way to lift your lounge? Transform a simple furniture item into a statement piece with Resene paint and stain. Keen thrift flipper Gretchen Lowe recently refreshed this hexagon-shaped coffee table. She loved the shape of the table but the colour was really dated, so she wanted to give it a makeover and was inspired by Japanese interiors, which are all about simplicity, clean lines and low, minimalist furniture.

The table is well made and crafted from timber, so Gretchen wanted to use Resene Colorwood natural wood stain in Resene Walnut for a beautiful rich texture on the top, allowing the natural beauty of the timber to shine through. For the rest of the table, she chose Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss in Resene Nero, a rich black.

Follow along with Gretchen as she transforms her coffee table from dull to dramatic.

You will need:
• Drop cloth
• Hand sander
• Paintbrushes
• Paint pots
• Resene Waterborne Sureseal Pigmented Sealer
• Low-tack painter’s tape
• Resene Lustacryl semi-gloss waterborne enamel (Gretchen used Resene Nero)
• Resene Colorwood natural wood stain (Gretchen used Resene Walnut)
• Lint-free cloth
• Resene Aquaclear

Step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Sand
As the top of the coffee table is going to be stained, it requires sanding for the best result. After cleaning it thoroughly to remove any grime and residue, take your coffee table outside or into the garage and use an electric hand sander to sand the top and make sure to wipe away all the sanding dust.

Step 2: Mask
Using painter’s tape is an easy way to ensure clean, crisp lines when painting. To protect the table top from primer and paint, use low-tack painter’s tape to mask around the edge.

Step 3: Prime
As the remainder of the table is going to be painted, it needs a coat of Resene Waterborne Sureseal pigmented sealer. Place down your drop cloth and use a brush to apply a layer to all surfaces that will be topcoated. Leave to dry.

Step 4: Paint
Paint the base, legs and table top border with two coats of Resene Lystacryl in your chosen colour – Gretchen used Resene Nero. Make sure to wait the recommended dry time between coats. Once dry, carefully peel off the painter’s tape

Step 5: Remask
Use low-tack painter’s tape to mask around the painted border to protect it from the stain application.

Step 6: Stain
Use a brush to apply one coat of Resene Colorwood in your chosen colour – Gretchen used Resene Walnut, which gives out a natural, warm finish. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to wipe away any excess and allow it to dry thoroughly. Then finish with Resene Aquaclear to protect the surface.

Step 6: Enjoy
Place the table into its designated spot in your lounge and display your items on the top – coffee table books and vases look great here.
