Refinish Buffet Table


Learn how to refinish furniture using gel stain by this AWESOME DIY from MonicaWantsIt


I used Java Gel Stain on all of my dining room furniture and it worked great. I have tried regular stain before and it was always too streaky. This was very simple and I used a combination of a paint brush and foam brushes. I wanted it very dark, so I did 2 coats and then one more touch up coat. I barely sanded beforehand and it still went on great which is another big difference from staining.

Here is the Java Gel Stain that you can buy on Amazon


Also, finished with their satin top coat




Hardware: Home Depot
