But you did a fabulous job refinishing it. The muted red color goes perfectly with the stained top. I can see that in my Americana style living room!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to leave a comment. My site is all about giving people ideas to update their old furniture, or something new they pick up at a thrift store. I appreciate you adding your two cents to the conversation. 🙂

Happy DIY’ing

I only did one coat of the red paint. I applied the wax in the corners with a chip brush. You can apply less if you want to. I don’t really buff off the wax, just wipe it back with the sponge or a clean brush.

It has traveled from Indiana to Florida and back and has served my family well! Love the post!

Do you buff off the black wax? What about the wax in the corners? Thanks.
