From the old table you can recreate an elegant table for writing or kitchen.

Restoration of table

The restoration of the table begins with the removal of old tiles from the table top, which used to be inserted into the oak edge, going throughout the entire perimeter. Tiles need to be carefully removed with a spatula or scraper.

If in your case the countertop is not decorated with tiles, the removal is to be coated with which the old table is processed.

Then there comes a turn of the edge of the table - it is highly treated with grinding bar. This stage smoothly goes into the cleaning of all wood with a wet grinding. It should be borne in mind that grinding is carried out strictly in one direction - along the fiber of the tree. Otherwise, across the countertops will remain unsightly risks, which is only more disappearing an old wooden table.

Before proceeding with varnishing, wood is desirable to open the verse. The base and the color of the means are selected taking into account the type of wood, for example, light veils on alcohol are ideal for oak. If the wood before processing is slightly moistened, then staining will be more uniform.

The wood is well moisturized by the veil, the surplus can be easily removed with a brush. When using water-soluble, wood fibers have a property to parse, which requires after drying grinding a fine-grained skin. Apply a means on a wooden table Better a piece of foam rubber, because after the brush remains lower. When the veil dries, the entire furniture surface should be treated with transparent primer or apply a layer of primer varnish on it.

The restoration of the wooden table is completed with the application of a matting solution on a varnish surface with a tampon.

In conclusion, a glass of good quality is installed on the worktop.

If the tabletop is badly damaged, it can be replaced with thick glass.

You can embed multicolored backlight under the glass table. See what beauty!

Decoupage table

Decoupage of the old table will turn it into a wonderful work of home art.

For us will need

1. Schucker or grinding machine
2. Acrylic paint
3. Shpaklevka
4. Acrylic paint
5. Varnish in the canister
6. Napkins, wallpapers or maps for decoupage
7. PVA glue
8. File or plastic bag

Poor work during decoupage is the same as when painting: disassembly and stripping using sandpaper.

After that, it is necessary to perform the shtkock, the composition for which you can buy in any construction store. Do not forget to dry well for several hours.

You can choose any drawing, make a subject matter for a specific interior. For example, a chair can be placed by a geographic map. For the decoration of the old table, wrapping paper is perfectly suitable or even wallpaper. You can embello on furniture with napkins, most often in decoupage of old furniture, a floral ornament is used, but this is the easiest way. You can make a decoupage even with the help of old newspapers or pages from useless books. Everything can go into the move: maps, postcards, wallpaper, clippings from magazines, intentionally printed illustrations.

Old table, chair, dresser, bedside table, transformed decoupage technique, will become the main decoration of your interior!

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! 10/13/2015
