How to paint a table from light wood to Dark Wood color?
I have coffee and dinning tables I want to repaint. They are both in natural light wood. I want them to be dark wood color. They are varnished with a glossy finish. I want to paint them that way, that the wood would look like natural dark wood, not like a heavy painted wall. I need a list of things needed to do this job. Thanks a lot!
Your not going to be able to accomplish that look w/ paint. Paint won’t stick to varnish at all. For one the glossy finish is varnish, & you need to use a solvent to get all of that off before you start. Once you’ve accomplished that, lightly sand the table & legs. You’ll need stain to accomplish the look you want. There are a lot of different shades.Once you find the color you want, brush on the stain, then wipe it off. You can only do so much at a time. But if you really want to Make Your tables look nice, this is the steps you will have to take.
You can try another method, but I don’t guarantee the outcome. You could just sand the varnish & then try the paint, but to tell you the truth, paint will look tacky.

Pool Table Lights Come in a Variety of Styles
Outfitting your game room with a pool table can create the feeling that you are in a small pub. Dim the lights, and you are even closer to that feeling.
But what if you need a little light to shoot a game of pool. Pool table lights are the answer. Pool table lights come in a variety of styles, shapes, colors and motifs, so that you can taylor your look to the pub of your choice.
Choices are abundant, ranging from college licensed pool table lights to decorative glass, Cast Iron, wrought iron, oil-rubbed bronze and stainless steel. Another thing to consider are the number of lights you want. Since pool tables range in size, pool table lights will range from 2-lite units to 4-lite units. So give some thought to the light over the pool table, it is as much a part of the overall feel of your game room as the decorative artwork and signs hanging on the wall.
A great option for your game room is to match the pool table light to the sconce lights that hang over your bar and to the table lamps sitting on the end tables. A lot of manufacturers will offer a range of products in the same style or motif, so that you can keep the theme throughout the entire game room. That’s a great way to pull the entire room together, without breaking the bank.
What if you don’t have a pool table you say??? What if you have an air hockey table. You can use a pool table light over an air hockey table to create the same ambiance that it gives you over the pool table. Air hockey is growing in popularity, largely due to the growing age of baby boomers, who yearn for playing the games of their youth. They are older now, with disposable income, and are able to purchase games such as air hockey tables for their basements and rec rooms.
Once you’ve got the pool table light covered, think about the rest of the game room. What is it that you will find in almost any Irish Pub, other than the beer??? A dart board. Nice thing about a dart board is that they take up almost no space. Other than a little wall space, you should be able to add a dart board to your game room quite easily. Get a decorative cabinet for the dart board and it doubles as a piece of game room art while not in use.
Other artwork ideas for the walls are signs with Coca-Cola on them, signs that resemble days of yesteryear, such as old baseball photos, old beer signs, even signs with cool quips and sayings on them.
So get going. Get that game room outfitted with the look and feel you’ve dreamed of. Get a cool pool table light, add a dart board, place some cool pub style artwork on the walls, make sure the table lamps on your end tables match your pool table light, and grab a cold one and enjoy!
