Outdoor Table Upcycle with Geneva Vanderzeil
Transform an outdoor table, ready for the entertaining season with Feast Watson Timber & Deck Stain
In the spirit of entertaining season, there's no better time to embark on a project that not only breathes new life into a well-loved outdoor setting but also serves as a heartfelt gift for those dear to us. Geneva Vanderzeil upcycled an outdoor dining setting with our Timber & Deck Stain in European Oak to create the perfect gift for her parents.
Stripping back the layers upon layers of paint revealed some beautiful timber underneath which she prepped with our Woodclean followed by a few coats of our exterior timber stain. The result? A thoughtful gift that will be cherished and used to make memories for many years to come. Read on to learn how you can do the same.
