A new hobby

As part of saving money and furnishing our new home ive been looking around at second hand pieces of furniture I can work on. 
I guess the projects will serve a few purposes, save money, get creative again and give me something to do other than stare at the tv or go online all evening, ill be honest, im very excited about this prospect! Ive purchased a small electric sander and plan to set up in the garage. My first project is going to be our dining table. If successful im going to attack our old bed frame, and hopefully bedroom furniture. 
One of the ladies ive recently met here does this kind of thing very very well so hoping for some hints and tips. 

The dining table, starting easy with just needing to work on the table top

Lets see how it ends up!

  1. I love that table as is, what are you planning on doing to it?

  2. The top is actually black chalk paint and doesnt look good up close, my original plan was to sand a little and paint white to match the base, but now im actually taking it back to the wood and staining for a farmhouse look :-)
