Welpers, posting is going to be a bit less frequent around here this week, cuz I’m on vacation! But don’t worry, I wouldn’t just leave you with nothing to cast your eyes upon.
How about this table makeover from Pelham at RPHD? It was so-so in every sense of the word, but he knew he could coax something special out of that patterned inlay. And did he ever! With eight shades of stains, including two custom blends, he created this checkerboard pattern that highlights all the graininess of the grain. Just lovely.
And speaking of checkerboards, that’s exactly what Jill and her fiance created when they received this old table from a thrift store owner who decided to give it away free with purchase. Score! They repaired it, painted it, poly-ed it, waxed it, and then … sold it! Checkmate!
