Hello! I have to convert my old solarium/tea room into an office (had to convert my old office into a nursery). I would love to salvage my adorable table and put it on my covered porch to have afternoon tea or dinner when we get some nice weather! I live in New England, so even though I have a covered porch, I think I will need to brace the wood for the humidity and/or potential bugs? How do I weatherproof it? Or is the paint sufficient? Should I just touch up the paint or should there be additional steps taken? I know that I won’t be able to use the fabric chairs, but I’d love to keep the table! I’m a total novice, so I am grateful for any advice! Ps. The porch is much larger than it looks and the table will fit well, I already measured 😊
