The Table is Set

Saturday, June 11, 2016   Mark and Gaz   13 comments

I didn't get to finish the planting of the succulent table the other evening so the following evening I finally managed to and here it is now...


And it was oiled too! Until I saw again what it looked like last year did I realise how much the wood has aged to grey. Nothing wrong with that and such a finish is nice in its own right too but I much prefer it in a deeper sheen like how it was before. Two coats of Danish oil later and that deep sheen was restored.
Before
After
If you notice on the background that the area by the fence is still in disarray. The pot display on the patio is as good as finished already but both areas where the fences are still needed some extra attention, which it got this weekend...

    The freshly restored table looks very inviting! I hope you enjoy many delightful evenings there this summer.

      Hopefully Kris, but it's looking like this coming week will be a very wet, non alfresco dining one!

    This is such a cool idea. One of these summers I'll come visit you to see the table in person :-).

    What a great job you've done. The table decorations look as if they've always been there.
