My Resene Upcycling Award entry

Anne Marie from Newlands

This little table was given to me by a neighbour who was getting rid of furniture before moving to Sydney. It was a darkish brown/black with water stains on the top. I don't have a picture of it 'before'.
During a period when I was unemployed, I sanded it back and used Resene Black on the legs and Resene Gold Dust on the top. I always knew it was a treasure, just needed a little Resene to bring it back to life. After painting it, I gave it a coat of Resene Aquaclear varnish to protect it.
