How to restore the kitchen table with your own hands. How from the old "event" kitchen table to make a new subject of the interior. The main stages of the restoration of the wooden table

The old table, breaking and quicken, and even, besides, a creaky, like a non-shy cart, and itch your hands send to the fire or landfill. But if you work a little over it, you can get a very good furniture accessory, such as a coffee table (if you shorten the legs up to a certain length), or a TV table. In my Saraj lay on the shelf, forgotten by everyone, the usual kitchen table. In disassembled state. Four legs on bolts, wooden base bonded by metal brackets, and three fragments of table tops.

Having inspected this rarity, I first decided to send it to the trash machine; From long lying, fragments of countertops, made of chipboard, were swollen under the influence of moisture, and after drying, it is already not returned to the original form. Yes, moreover, they became fragile and the opil, from which they, in fact, were fraught with ...

The wooden basis, on the contrary, was shuffled to the fact that he went to the chance, as a lively, it was worth it to take her! Thinking a little, I decided, after all, try to "reanimate" him. Anyway, I will not lose a lot, in case of failure.

Need

• Hacksaw.
• Gas key or pliers.
• Adhesive universal (you can "moment").
• Adhesive composite (cold welding).
• Cyan Cyan Acrylate (super glue).
• Marker.
• Drill and twisted for 4 and 9.
• Long line (or level with line markup).
• Four thick furniture screws under the hexagon.
• A small sheet of chipboard for a new table top.
• Decorative self-adhesive film for tabletop cladding (with a picture of your choice).

Restore the old table

First you need to disassemble the wooden basis. Unscrew all existing screws, remove metal brackets.

The table we will have twice as smaller than the former, and therefore the crossbars that were used to be a width of the table - now they will become long.

The width of the new table can be selected independently, to your taste. You can do it at least square! To do this, take the remaining long crossbars, and shorten them to the width of the future table you need.

Just calculate the width of the future table to be at least half of his long, otherwise it will be unstable! Now, on the unpacked ends of the crossbar, we will make a hacksaw groove for metal brackets, as before.

Next, we get holes left from the screws after disassembling the table. Most of these holes will again be in the former places, and that they keep screws that hold metal brackets well, we use matches and universal glue. Makazy match in glue (or dripping glue into the hole), pushing it until it stops into the hole, and climb.

It turned out a peculiar CHEKL card. Now in this hole, the screw will be well held, and the table will not be fused. Well, so that the "new" table does not creak - drip on a drop of machine oil to the places of contact of all individual fragments of the table, both wooden and metal. Now we will deal with legs. If the threaded compound is twisted in these legs, it is desirable to unscrew it from the leg. To coole the thread with composite or universal glue, and screw it back.

Before the stop. If the connection is dangling, but it does not get out (it happens when the thread pin has inside the legs "T" -ny end), then you will have to use Cyan acrylate (super glue). We drip it into the gap between the connection and wood until it stops to go inside. We leave the knocked legs to dry. For a couple of hours, so that I manage to grab composite glue. (By the way, the legs can also be shortened, to the height you need, overshadow the plane, to narrow them down the book, if they are square, and cover the mournicle.) During this time, you can collect a wooden foundation; We fasten the cooked crossbars using brackets and screws.

After the time allocated to frozen the composite glue, we screw the legs to the base. As before to the old table.

Now we take a prepared sheet of chipboard (I took the end wall from the old cabinet for this purpose), cut the required area of \u200b\u200bthe worktop and the sandpaper, or a wooden file, dumping edges.

We put the table top on a flat surface, facial (the most smooth!) Side down. We put on top on the table top the base, legs up and mark the marker of the corners of the legs.

We remove the basis and drill holes by 4 millimeters in every corner, with such a calculation so that the holes fall into the centers of the legs. Now we put the foundation on the legs, put onto the worktop on it, and look at the bottom to come together marker made earlier. Now on the holes available in the tabletop, drill holes further - inside the legs, on the length of the screw.

Well, by a drill on eight millimeters, we will make a small deepening-sweep over holes, for screws of screws and screw the screws.

Mind screw screw with composite glue, so that the countertop should have a smooth surface. You can pre-lubricate the surface of the deepening, and the screw screw in it, machine oil, then it will be possible to easily dig these reversed plugs to dismantle the table, if necessary.

We are waiting for the composite glue and, in conclusion, we glue the countertop with a sticky decorative film.

Plug by self-adhesive wallpaper should be as accurate as possible; The second chance will not be to cross. To do this, I had to dismantle the table (good, it is not long - unscrew the four screws and unscrew the four nuts!). I moistened in the room the air with a sprayer, so that the dusting does not lie down on the surface placed, and have not formed irregularities and bubbles after the work done. The surface of the surface with alcohol, and carefully, starting with one of the corners, smoothing the film in different directions from the angle of a dry cloth, for each item in turn, pasted the film. If bubbles could not be avoided, pinched them with a thin needle in several places, put an ordinary kitchen napkin on the bubble and put a mug with a flat bottom filled with boiling water on this place. For one or two minutes. After this procedure, the bubble will disappear. And one moment; Ploying the countertop, I changed my mind to hide the screws of the screws - I really liked it, how the shiny metal caps are looking, recessed in the texture of "stone".

But this is the case of each individual. If anyone does not like it - you can hide the hats. It is also smeared with glue and stick on top of the patch cut from the same film ... This table was (in size!):

And so became small and compact:

He will fit well in the interior of some small room in the country house. I think it turned out well. Even very good!

If you have an old dining table that you are roads like memory, or you just want to reasonably save on the purchase of new furniture, then you have to be interested in the quality of the restorer or decorator.

Keep in mind that the restoration of the kitchen table with their own hands is not the simplest and, in some cases, not justified, because not every table is subject to repair, and antiques are better to entrust professionals at all. But most often, the correct "upgrade" can return your old friend to life and transform it to be unrecognizable.

What ways can we update the table?

To update the kitchen table with your own hands, you can use one of the following proven technologies:

1. Traditional painting - it is this way that we will consider in detail in a step-by-step master class.

• An interesting way to decorate and paint furniture is staining through tulle - a tabletop is painted through it, and on the principle of the stencil is formed a lace pattern.

1. Ceramic tile will allow you to decorate the dilapidative, strongly damaged countertop and make it more practical - you can put hot and soak on this surface in any way.

1. Refresh the old table in the technique of decoupage. We will also talk about it in more detail about him.

1. Easy way to modify the table with your own hands quickly and budget - to kill it with a self-adhesive film.
2. The burning will refresh the non-damaged wooden surface.

Master class - 6 steps on the way to a new life

In this master class on a simple restoration of the dining table, we will update, repair and repaint this old veneered table with a moderate amount of defects.

So, to update the kitchen table you will need:

1. grinders or sandpaper large, medium and shallow grain, as well as glasses, respirator and gloves;
2. alkyd enamel paint of the desired color (or other desired coating, for example, a simulator), as well as a flat non-liner painting or artistic brush;
3. fortress for wood and small roller / brush for priming;
4. wax pasta or varnish.

Step 1. View and repair the details

Carefully inspect all the attachments in the designs and defects of the countertops - as far as the veneer was smelled or the tree was damaged.

If the table is a bit broken, then you just need to pull out all the screws. If it requires a more serious restoration, then you need to fully disassemble the table, reject all the details or clean and sand all the grooves and places of compounds so that the new glue is better grabbed, fix the glued parts with clamps or screws, and then remove them after 15 hours, and then remove them after 15 hours, When the glue dries completely.

• Sometimes a substole requires a replacement not only because its details have dilapidated themselves, but also because the legs will be able to fully change your old table. For example, if before the legs were simple, now you can replace them with beautiful carved bales.
• Disassembled furniture, do not forget to mark the installation site of each of the parts, so you do not confuse and quickly cope with the task.

Step 2. Remove the old coating

Now wear safety glasses and prepare 2 kinds of sandpaper: coarse-grained - for primary processing and fine-grained - for giving smoothness. Get ready for long and time-consuming work - to remove the old paint or varnish the case is not simple.

Step 3. Close the cracks and chips

After grinding, we carefully clean the table from dust, inspect the worktop and looking for defects. Keep in mind that even the smallest damage will be noticeable after painting. All chips and cracks should be locally closeing with a putty for a tree or a polyester putty, and then abandon the entire surface again, when "patches" dried.

Note - Wall coating by Morilka:

• if the countertop does not have strong damage, then you may not hide the natural beauty of the tree and cover it with a verse, and then varnish, shellac or wax. In the photo below, an example of a renovated table with a tabletop, a moraine in the color "Chojled oak".

Step 4. Ground and spool again

We continue work. Now we need not only to clean the table, but also to degrease it. And after the table is dry, proceed to the primer. This stage is required, since without it, the paint coating will be laid uneven and will be raised quickly. You can use alkyd or shellak primer for wood. In this master class, a universal alkyd primer Zinsser Cover Stain was used (in the photo below), which dries in just 1 hour, protects the tree well and prepares it to paint. It is worth it about 500-600 rubles, but is not sold everywhere. The table can be predicted in 1-2 layers using a small spongy roller, while each layer must dry completely.

When the primer is driving (in 1 day), again stratum the tabletop with a sandpaper or grinding sponge of medium grain to smooth the projected surface and prepare it to paint. And do not forget to put the respirator again!

Step 5. And now proceed to painting.

It is very important to choose the right paint and its color. Avoid cheap paints, because it is a dining table, which means that the countertop must wear frequent wash, wiping, shocking, and so on. In this case, the enamel alkyd paint premium class is used with satin finishes, but you can choose more eco-friendly enamel on acrylic basis. Also with addiction, select a high-quality brush so that it does not learn in the process. Not painful, but a large flat artistic brush.

The paint should be applied in 2 thin layers, while the finishing layer is better to leave to be dried for 3-4 days.

• If you chose the dark color of the paint, then it is better to apply in 3 thin layers;
• To create crash styles, you can take a sand in some places, for example, on the end of the table;
• Also, to create the effect "under ancient", the table can be sent.

Step 6. Apply Protective Coating

As we have already said, you can protect the surface of the table with varnish, for example, matte polyurethane on a water basis (on the photo on the left, great varnish from Varathane). It is necessary to apply it evenly in 2-3 thin layers, slightly squeaking each layer before applying the next layer of varnish. Of course, all layers before the Okurivation must completely dry (4 hours).

The second option is to protect the wax that will make the worktop matte and it can be gratened to shine. For this, the wax must be milded with cotton fabric in wood, then give the first layer to dry for at least 1 hour. After that, polish the surface with circular motions, and repeat the procedure 2 more times within one day. Well, now take patience and leave the table for 1 week so that the surface has acquired the necessary operational properties.

Well, that's all - the restoration is finished, and the old table has gained a new life in a trendy white color.

And here is another interesting video from the transfer of "cheap and angry" on the topic of tabletop restoration at home from the remedies.

Countertop Update With Decoupage

If you do not want to stop there or your table does not have serious damage, but simply needs a small update, you can decorate the table with drawings: to write it with acrylic paints manually, use stencils and stamps, or update the table with the help of decoupage. Perhaps, it is this particularly popular decorative technique that will look at more detail, after all, decoupage will allow not only budget and quickly transform a table or, for example, to stylize it under Shebby Chic (as in the photo below), but also hide some defects of the dilapidated surface.

To update the table with your own hands in the technique of decoupage you will need:

• acrylic primer and acrylic paints - if desired;
• putty for a beige tree;
• grinding and emery paper of varying degrees of graininess;
• rubber spatulas;
• art brushes flat and artificial;
• matte or semi-axle wood varnish;
• napkins for decoupage or decoupage card;
• scissors;
• pVA glue or special decoupage glue.

Decor in the technique of decoupage can be started either after the primer stage and its grinding (see Step number 4 above), or after painting and lacquer. Then you should select a picture - it can be any image on paper or dining napkins, as well as special rice paper for decoupage.

Initially, mark the markup, gently marking the pencil that the images will be located. To the container with water, we put the cut-out paper image "face" down and withstand half a minute. Then the spacious image is laid out as "face" down on a plastic file, and all extra paper layers roll. Then the picture is thoroughly labeled with glue and attached to the tabletop. The file is not removed - through it the image is as smoothed as much as possible.

The surface around the pictures is decorated with paint. The final stage of the decoupage is varnish with acrylic varnish. Through three days, the lacquer dries and the table can be fully used.

Finally, a selection of photos for your inspiration.

Do not rush to throw out the old table. He served you for many years and serve even if you give him a little attention.

The table can be reedded so that it will compete any designer thing.

Restoration

Step 1. First you need to examine the table for breakdowns, cracks, scratches. If there is a breakdown, it is necessary to eliminate them. We check all the bolts on the legs and the countertop, tighten them.
The best option will disassemble the table in detail, clean from dirt and dust, then collect it again. You can add glue to all locations of the mounts and wait until it dry (at least 15 hours).

Step 2. Next you need to polish the table using the machine or sand it manually. This allows you to identify all the problem areas that were not visible earlier.
Remove the old paint and varnish is a very time-consuming and long process. We clean the surface of fine-grained and medium-hearted emery paper.

Note! Grind wood follows along the fibers. In case of incorrect processing, difficult defects occur.

Step 3. All detected cracks and deep scratches should be embossed using. Completely dry patches. Next, we clean and gluify the surface.

Step 4. Degrease the table with acetone and stuffing its surface. For this, a universal primer is suitable. Instead of impregnation, the tabletop soaked 2-3 times, completely drying each layer.

Step 5. Spin the surface of the table again.

We apply a large brush (better if it is not painted, and artistic). When the paint is dry, we apply the second layer. Application should be fast, short strokes, thin layers. We dry table at least 4 days.

Note! Dark paint should be applied in two or three layers to avoid light lumen.

Decorating table tops

Painted

The painting is one of the most popular techniques of interior decoration and items. There are several options for painting furniture: art painting with a thin tassel, painting through the stencil (pattern), painting by stamps.

For glass countertops, a great solution is a bright and air painting with stained in paints.

It looks very beautifully painted with the help of Tulle or any other lace. To apply an openwork on the surface of the table, you need to apply tulle to the tabletop (it is desirable to fix it with a tape from the reverse side).

Color the table in the same way as through the usual stencil, with the help of a sponge, roller or canister with paint. Emale color pick up the contrasting surface.

Note! On the glass countertop, the painted is applied from the inside, the front side remains smooth.

Mosaic

Tile glue first lay out the mosaic frame elements. We try to make the same seams as much as possible. Then from the center of the table, we begin to lay out the tile (or pieces of tiles). An interesting solution will be laying tiles of different colors. Top tiles are covered with a special grout. In order not to be visible to the tile ends, you can attach plastic corners on the edges of the table in the tile grout color.

In the technique of mosaic, it is possible to apply not only tiles, but also other materials and a variety of items - shells , Pebbles, pieces of glass, egg shell, etc.

Pottal

Paltal is the finest sheets from different metal alloys, which are used to simulate any surface under gold, bronze or silver. Appliances of gilding is often used in furniture finishing along with other decorative techniques.

To begin with, draw stencils along which it will be glued. Then we applose the glue with a thin brush.

Sheets swept carefully impose on glue. Soft brush carefully remove unnecessary parts of the sheet.

The thicker brush, which we apply glue, the thicker it will be a drawing from Potali.

Note! Particles of sheets sweat, remaining from decorating table tops, can be collected and used in the form of powder.

Color in different colors

For starters, the countertop is completely covered with one color. After drying, it is necessary to stick a raner tape by creating a stencil from it for other colors.

With the help of a roller or brush, one after another are all the other colors. After that, the malarious scotch is removed.

On a colored background, you can draw or glue various pictures.

At the end, the table must be coated with two layers of transparent varnish. This will add storage decor and protects from external influences. Varnish can be taken glossy or matte.

Then you begin to decorate. Conditionally all methods for decorating the wooden table can be divided into two groups:

Painting surface, including independent painting, staining via stencil or with stamps;

Cowing surface Special materials - wallpaper, self-adhesive film, decoupage with napkins or interesting cuttings, pasting, photo printing, mosaic or tile.

The glass table will have to update a little differently. Pack it with wallpaper, film or make a decoupage is quite possible from the inside.

And you can also paint the glass surface with special colors and get an interesting design.

How to upgrade a glass table?

Beautiful glass coffee table can often be found in modern apartments. As a result of the wrong departure, the glass countertop loses its attractive appearance.

The legs are loosened, chips and scratches appear on the glass. If the tabletop formed scratches in which the nail could fit, then it is better to give the table to a special workshop, dispose of or replace the glass to a new one.

If damage is not as terrible, you can try to reanimate this subject of the interior.

You can save the glass countertop from scratches at home as a submitted (toothpaste, soda, transparent nail polish) and special means (gay paste, automotive polyters, precious metal polishing agents).

First you need to clean the surface, then carefully launch or apply the composition of the scratch. Do not overdo it, otherwise, instead of one scratch, you can get some more. Wait a bit so that the makeup grabbing and clean the glass again.

To get rid of scratches, the most ordinary, non-gel toothpaste is used. The soda is dissolved with water to the state of the kashitz, approximately in the ratio of 1: 1. Goe paste you need to use the proven valve. Transparent varnish, will not completely eliminate the problem, but only partially. At a certain corner of illumination it will be noticeable that there were scratches on that place.

Flawing table legs are also repaired. Usually, the feet of the table are attached to special glue. This glue can eventually refuse. It can be removed and replaced with a new adhesive composition. If the legs are attached to screws, screws, then they can be promoted and replaced with new ones.

Now the table can be given a completely new sound with the help of various decorator techniques:

Cut the table with an invented side with a decorative film. When the table is pasted, do not allow bubbles formation. Film glued better gradually, gradually pushing the substrate. If bubbles still appeared, then you can pierce them with a needle and smooth out;

Make a decoupage. To do this, you will need pictures (for example, with napkins or on rice paper, or specially prepared for this image), PVC glue or special for these works, tassels, file, lacquer for decoupage. The necessary inventory can be purchased in stores for creativity and scrapbooking;

Coloring stained in paints. Acrylic outline, stained glass paints, cotton wands and napkins, alcohol for degreasing surface, sketch of drawing, tape - here is a set of objects that will be needed for this work;
