I have a cottage kitchen table that I showed this makeover on last year.
The little table was from the nineties and had a tile top. I wanted to update it and make it into a plank top table.
It wasn't hard to transform it. My husband just unscrewed the tile top and we put two pre-cut pieces of pine in it's place. They were sold this pre-cut size at Lowes.
What I am showing you today is the care of the pine top. It is getting a little scratched up, but that was my intention. I like it rustic with some wear so, any dings it has is okay.
To care for it every so often I apply this Boos Block Mystery Oil. It is a mixture of linseed oil and some other oil. It is the perfect finish for this type of top. We have set glasses on this top and it gets no water rings. This is a old finish that has been around for a long time. It is very durable and works great. If you use this be sure and dispose of the rags as directed on the label. Linseed oil can become highly flammable on rags and should be disposed of properly.
When I applied the oil the wood soaked it right up.
This gives your plank top a lovely finish that will last for years.
I have been sick these last few days and will continue to post a little less. I plan to have the Home Sweet Home party on this Thursday.
