Table Stamping

A photo of the table my husband made a few years ago and I stamped is shown here when it was first made. The finish on the table had gotten marked, because we use it every day. I asked Steven if he could refinish it … by using a couple of coats of polyurethane to bring the sheen back. When he said yes, I thought I might stamp more images to update the table. There are a few photos below these that show the new designs on the same table.

But first, here's what the table looked like when Steven had to further scuff the top of the table with fine sandpaper. This needed to be done before I could add more stamping. The white scuff lines will all melt away, but you need to sandpaper it so the clear coats of polyurethane will adhere properly. Next, I got my materials ready:  Bronze Decorator’s Glaze, a makeup sponge and a few large foam stamps.

I started by adding a few more images and also going over the original ones . . .

And then, I went a little bit wild with even more stamping. Hmmm, I wonder what kitten Lightning thinks? He seems to be checking the table out!

I like the new look  :0 )

Steven will take it to the boat shop now to finish it, giving it a few coats of shiny sealant. We are getting a new (larger) couch on Sunday and this will be just perfect for it! I did not take long to stamp it either. I am much happier with it now. Who says it's too late to recreate?
