Fix Worn Furniture Spots

The table in the living room gets a lot of traffic from people's feet and shoes as a footrest while sitting on the couch. After a while, the stain begins to wear off and it doesn't look so nice. So how do you fix this problem? Go to Home Depot, Lowe's or your local hardware store and get a stain pen in the color closest to the stain on your furniture. This is the one I bought:

The color is Red Oak

Before:

After:

It's not 100%, but it looks MUCH better! You can keep layering on the stain if you want it darker in color.

All you do is take your stain pen to the spot where the stain has worn off.


Let the stain sit there for a few minutes and remove the excess stain with a paper towel.


Keep applying several coats of stain to get to your desired color.

The front of the table was much worse, but I forgot the before picture. He is the after picture!

Much better.
