Project Update
Travis and I both love this table my parents gave us several years ago. I grew up eating Sunday dinner at this table, making art projects and studying here. At it's most compact, it seats six, and then with the leaves will seat twelve. It is easy to add the leaves too and is very sturdy.
But I don't like the 80's country look of it. Is it too much to ask to maybe strip it and refinish it?
I saw this in March's Domino and thought I might be able to do that to this table. I think it would bring out the oak's graininess while maybe even making it look more rustic, contrasting nicely with the metal chairs.
What do you think?

yes, i think that might be a fun look. it might lose it's durable finish, like we talked about. Liming it makes it look unfinished, thus more absorbent to stains, etc. It could be that you can apply a matte finish that would retain the look without sacrificing durability. I say, what the heck? You won't know unless you try it.
I think it would look great. I perfer black tables but that is just me:)
I love that way better
Oh, I can't wait to see how it turns out. We used to have a table just like that, and I gave it away for the same reason, so I'm excited to see what you might do with it. Good luck!
Ooh! I bet it will look great! I can't wait to see it finished!
