Question
I have a high end, hand-painted, white washed pine dining room table by Pulaski. I took the table extension out and placed it face down on the tapestry upholstered chairs. Unfortunately, I left the piece that way for several weeks. When I went to put the extension back into the table, the wood is "freckled" with the dye from the fabric. Not sure if I need to have the entire table stripped and redone, or if there is some product that will life the marks. Fortunately, on this piece there is no hand-painting.

Hi Annette, Very nice table! From your description of the problem, it is probably best to see if a light sanding will remove the marks and then to apply a new finsh which will match the rest of the table. Looks to me like a satin urethane would do the job. however there is always the possibility that the leaf will not exactly match with the rest of the table at which time you would need to apply the finish to the entire table top. thanks for the question and good luck with your project.
