Remember that one time a million weeks ago I drove up to Phoenix to go to Ikea and Porter Barn Wood?! Well I totally finally finished my project!!! I used reclaimed tobacco barn wood as a fun table top for a coffee/side table duo!
First we had to sand off the tops of the tables do the wood had something to stick to. Ikea like fricken goes crazy on their tables so it took a super rough paper and power sander to do the trick.
Since I'm prone to accidents... Matt cut the boards for me after I measured them and laid them out how I wanted as the table top.
Next I got to look like Bane from Batman as I sprayed a satin finish on the wood to help with any icky wood or paint chipping. It took 2 cans to do all the wood and didn't discolor it. Just slightly darker I suppose.
Super awesome husband deleted the next pictures I had!!! Buuuut we used wood glue to adhere the boards to the tables and held then down with c clamps for about 30 minutes. We did them individually to make sure they would stay put and not slide around! I looooove them! Totally changes the feel of the living room. <3
Now I need a new rug...
