Hi, everybody! If you're wondering how my table has stood up over time, I created a video about it. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/gocox56crSM/w-d-xo.html I'm sorry that the volume of the video isn't so great, but I'm constantly trying to improve my video editing, so future videos are better, I promise! Also, I'm working on creating another video to show you how to touch up scratches and ding marks, so please subscribe and stayed tuned for that future video. Thank you so much for watching! I hope you've found this video to be helpful to you! :)
1thornley I have not found it to be streaky. Everything I have ever chalk painted I always had to give several coats. I always buy good paint too. I have painted all my life and have found thru the years the saying...You get what you pay for hold true to this type of painting.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Just bought a cabin in the mountains that came with a round oak dining table that I’d like to paint and antique. It’s a true log cabin so hand hewn wood grain is everywhere and thus an oak grain on the table clashed. I’ll be trying this technique. Thank you!
I liked your video. Great choice of colors. I've done a lot of furniture refinishing. Back in the 80's I would strip the furniture & then re-stain and take care of imperfections. I still think it's wise to sand, clean, fill in areas that need filling, etc. I believe you will get a more long lasting professional look for the item...especially if its solid wood.
this is great. After watching I bought some pale grey paint, some wintage duck egg chalk paint and just finished a frame for a large mirror. It looks great
You've given the table a whole new look/life! Did you know that you can "wet sand" ASCP (with just a damp rag) BEFORE you wax, and thereby save a step? Then you have no sanding dust to clean up, or need to re-wax the distressed edges. Happy painting!
Pam, thank you very much for the compliment and also for that great tip! Makes a lot of sense. I will DEFINITELY give that technique a try...the more time saved the better! THANKS. :)
The wax is what "seals" the chalk paint. Otherwise, due to its chalky texture, it will flake off over time. After you apply the wax, it "cures" or hardens, forming a protective layer over the chalk paint.
I used one quart for the uppers (I had enough paint left to do the top of my dining room table) and a half a quart for the lowers (I had enough paint left to refinish an old Ikea dresser.) Hope that helps!
Thankyou so much for the video. I’ve just bought a round vintage wooden table and was hoping to weather it. Seems relatively easy & I do love a diy project. ❤️
I`m going to buy some chalk paint tomorrow and I have a kitchen table, antique dresser/armoire and my kitchen cabinets to have fun with...oh and maybe two shelving units as well... your video makes it look so easy working with chalk paint. I thought let`s do this...Might as well go big or go home! lol Thanks for the inspiration. Awesome job!! :)
Just found this video. I was looking for a small writing desk as a decorative piece in my renovated living room. Someone gave an old to me that was old but in good condition. At some point, the top was painted dark brown and the legs were left a dark stain. This may be the perfect solution to bring this back to life without have to strip it first.
Good Afternoon Ma'am ! I dont know how I ended up here. I was catching up on hackers toys (check out wifi signal jammers....its cool) then possums, (amazing animals) and then here ! I love doing projects for my wife, and what a great video. I cant stand dyi vids as they give me anxiety issues by the way they give their presentation. This was very nerve calming and simple. Thank you again ma'am :) PS: Never could discredit my wife in any way. She is absolutely stunning. Just would like to say, your husband is a very lucky man and you guys have a beautiful home ! Thanks again for your video !
Im so excited after,watching ur video. I trying to research how chalk paint done before I make the attempt on my TV cabinet.yours is the one I like the best,so i will follow ur tips,and paint brand😃
Hi. Thank you for this great video. I was about to get rid of or old outdoor table but now I have decided to try and paint and distress I as a holiday project with my 13 year old daughter! Not sure if I'll be able to find the Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in New Zealand but if not, I'll go for something similar ... Will let you know how it turns out! Kind regards from Auckland NZ
Oh, that's so wonderful to hear. Thank you for letting me know! I hope you and your daughter have an excellent time together restoring your outdoor table. :) If you can't find AS, you may be able to find Jolie paint, a newer product brand that I believe is an Australian-based company. It's not technically "chalk paint" but it works the same way and I've heard wonderful things. I look forward to hearing how your project turns out. Cheers!
L💖VED your video! So wonderfully easy to follow, thus very Inspirational! Just discovered CHALK paint and am excited to paint my all wood dining table! Being a neophyte, could you talk about WHICH kind of BRUSHES to use w CHALK paint?? 🙏🏼Merci beaucoup! Cecilia
Justina...Liz from 'Traditions By The Seasons" recommended I visit your channel and I am so glad she did. I loved this video with you chalk painting your table. I am looking forward to learning all about chalk painting. Thank you.
Hi, Ann! ❤️🤗WELCOME!🤗❤️ Thank you very much for being here and for saying hello! 🙏🏼 I‘m excited to hear that you’re interested in chalk paint. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. I love the stuff! 😍 Lol! Hope you have a lovely night, Ann! ❤️
Oh, I am sooooo glad to hear that, Marlene! ☺️ It is such a worthwhile project. I recently recorded an update, and the table still looks very good after a year and a half. Good luck!
I just bought an end table at Pier 1 and I don’t like the color. It’s a yellowish creme and I need a beige color. Would like to distress it a bit but my question is would I need to put a dark color under the beige color to get the distressed look? Or would the yellowish color look okay coming out as the antiqued color? Seems the color coming through should be darker like yours and others I’ve seen. Thanks so much, loved your video.
So Awesome! I am going to be painting our dining table white soon too! It is a table I got from Pottery Barn a few years ago. It has some sort of wood stain-looking veneer on top, that is peeling/scratched off on some areas. Under that, it looks like a pine color, but not smooth. Im not sure what this table is made out of? But should I try to get all of that veneer off before painting it? Or just go right over it? Also, does putting the wax on make it sticky, so that lint and cat hairs will constantly stick to the table? Any advice would be so appreciated :)
Awesome! Thank you, Kim. :) Would love to know how your end tables turn out. Btw - My Mom and I chalk painted a dresser of hers over Thanksgiving weekend. It turned out great, and we finished painting it in less than two hours!
Thank you so much! This is, perhaps, my favorite chalk paint project...either this or the bookshelf I just did. Thank you for watching and for your sweet comments, Norine! 💕💕💕
She Cleaves to Christ: I love this paint, too! It's so easy to work with. I believe you have to wait 24 hours for the wax to cure, but I'd actually wait longer, maybe 48 hours. The wax will continue to cure over the course of about a week. Hope that helps!😊
Its not, with wax you have to reapply it from time to time ir you will end up with a more destroyed table from what u started with, use a polycrilic, like 5-7 coats and youll be safe.
Nikki, thank you so much for your sweet compliment! It still looks good today, and has held up well to wear and tear. Still one of my favorite DIY projects of all time! ☺️ Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼
Awesome, great painter. I will try it in my home. By the way what kind of genre music you added in the website of purple planet, coz i saw a lot of genres out there, i can't to figure out, i think it's some sort of New age genre. Thank you for sharing your talent for us.
Hi Justina! I'm a new subscriber, came across your video while looking for tutorials on redoing dining tables in a farmhouse style. I didn't think I'd be able to do it but you make it look so easy now I'm excited to try it! My table is very similar to yours and I'm going with a dark wood look so hopefully it turns out just as nice as yours did! Love your videos!! Thank you for the confidence and inspiration!
Hello, Michelle! Wow, thank you so much for sharing that with me. I’m so glad that this video helpful to you. Did you start your project yet? If so, how did it turn out??? ☺️👩🏻🎨 Also, thank you so, so much for subscribing to my channel. I’m so glad you’re here! Ps. Sorry I am so late in responding...I just saw your sweet message now. Two weeks ago my baby and I were both sick! (All better now, though!) TYSM for watching, Michelle!
Theresa, thank you for the compliment! Yes, I think the dark wax gives such a cool finish, especially if you want a highly textured piece or a more vintage or rustic look.
CSvids well, you’d need to at least use a primer with regular paint, you might also need to sand. Chalk paint adheres to virtually any surface with no priming or prepping (other than making sure it’s clean.) so that’s a big bonus when using chalk paint. It cuts down the prep time and labor involved. I don’t know the “science” behind it, but it’s pretty remarkable, IMO. You can paint fabric, leather, metal, etc. A very interesting and incredible product!
I love the look of the chalk paint, but you have to be a millionaire to buy Annie sloan. I'm sure the brushes are expensive too. That turned out so nice!
Hi, Diane! Thank you for watching. 🤗💕 I agree, it’s very expensive paint, definitely not within everybody’s budget. Because of that, just last week, I did a comparison and review of Rustoleum chalk paint vs. Annie Sloan. Have you heard of Rustoleum’s line? It is a rather good product and half the price of Annie Sloan. Here’s the video if you’re interested: m.th-cam.com/video/ZK8TYMxojWM/w-d-xo.html
That’s so awesome! 🙌🏼 I hope my video was helpful. Are you going to try chalk paint? If you do, the one thing I would suggest now that I’ve lived with my chalk-painted table for about 2 1/2 years, is to consider sealing the top of the table with a matte or satin polycrylic. I think it will be more durable than the wax. Good luck with your project, I hope it turns out great!😁😁😁
@@MissJustinaMarie New to your channel and have found some great tips on refinishing my dining room table. This is exactly what I was wondering about sealing as I’ve read that the wax can feel tacky and/or wear off quickly on a table due to frequent use and cleaning.. Is there a particular product you’d recommend now to seal? Thanks!
Hi there, your video is very helpful. If I paint a table that will get lots of use and I want to polyurethane the surface, do I still use the wax? Also, I have purchased water transfer decals for a table, any suggestions for when to apply it?
Hi, Cindy! Glad you liked the video. 😁 I wouldn't use both the wax and the polyurethane. What I would do in your situation is to paint the surface using the chalk paint and then apply the decal and then apply the polyurethane. However, you might want to do a test first to make sure that the polyurethane doesn't make the decal bleed. Hope that helps!
I have a table just like this and we have stained the top and i want my chairs and bottom like this. My chairs and table and bottom is already white how do I to get the destresed look? I bought the linin . paint and wax but can take it back. Do I have to stain first or paint a dark color the paint
Hello...came across your videos and I must say Bravo! I have a similar dining table that is finished with a gloss. Would you recommend I sand it down before I begin to paint? Also after you distressed your table did you wax it again? My apologies for the questions. Im soo tempted to do my table but so scared at the same time. Thank you for sharing your videos and keep them coming :)
Hi, Jisenia , and thanks for your comment! 😃 yes, I lightly waxed over the distressed parts. So far, my table is holding up pretty well! I am pleased with the results. For your table, I think it would depend on how glossy the finish is. According to Annie Sloan, you are supposed to be able to apply the chalk paint over pretty much any surface. I think the exception is mahogany. Maybe try doing a test area to see if the paint is going to adhere to the gloss? However, I would suggest that if it is a very thick layer of very glossy finish, you may want to be on the safe side and sand it down first. Hope that helps.😁
Thank you so much for subscribing, Lucia! As for your table, as long as there is no "rush" to refinish your table, just think about it for a while and maybe also look into other refurbishing methods. For ex., I'd love to try gel stain one day. :)
It looks beautiful, I Love like to give life to the olds.... But my question is why this type of brush....? Thanks again for the great video and efforts.... Gbu
Thank you, Oscar! I've found that it doesn't really matter. What I did was wax it first, then I distressed it, then I went back over the distressed areas with the wax. I believe you can wait to wax the whole thing at once after it's been distressed. Hope that answers your question! :)
Hi, everybody! If you're wondering how my table has stood up over time, I created a video about it. You can find it here: th-cam.com/video/gocox56crSM/w-d-xo.html I'm sorry that the volume of the video isn't so great, but I'm constantly trying to improve my video editing, so future videos are better, I promise!

Hi does chalk paint ever finish looking completely smooth or is it always streaky looking? Thanks
1thornley I have not found it to be streaky. Everything I have ever chalk painted I always had to give several coats. I always buy good paint too. I have painted all my life and have found thru the years the saying...You get what you pay for hold true to this type of painting.
The blue and white is so fresh looking, I love it.
Whoops! Forgot to mention that your FILMING w written directions were GREAT and easy to follow!! YOU are a GREAT TUTOR!!

I'm a total novice to this refinishing stuff, so your video was very well explained, clear, easy to follow. Well spoken, too.
Wow how beautiful. Thanks for sharing..I am doing a table this week and I am going to do that combination. It came out awesome.
Getting ready to do a makeover of some old furniture in the house. Thanks for the instruction!

I love it!!! I’m pretty sure I could do that!!!
Looks beautiful! So no need to strip the old stain?
I like how the two tone table came out, nice, I would paint the chairs the same pale blue you used for the bottom of the table
Love to see how it’s antique to look old

Good luck!
Great tutorial for chalk paint. Love your table, very nice!
Judy Sylvest thank you!!! 💗
Just beautiful. Why do you use the wax to protect the wood ?
Thank you, Norine! If you don’t seal chalk paint, it will begin to flake off.
Hope you have a lovely day! 💕
Besides the wax what else could I use on my dinning room table . I will be using this table all the time. Thank y in advance.😊
Absolutely LOVED this video! Do you have a video for your bench?
Thank you very much! Unfortunately I do not have a video for the bench, but it has been a welcome addition for our small eating space.
So helpful and our tables are nearly identical. Thank you!!
How long does it need to dry between coats and the wax? Does the wax ever need to be reapplied?
I was very doubtful you'd pull it off, but I was completely wrong. The piece is beautiful and fits your space perfectly.
MJ Gutierrez thank you very much! ☺️☺️☺️

how long will it last without scraping off or chipping...with children around lol....also same question with the cabinets
it's really fantastic the work you're doing. thanks!!
Thanks so much, Javier!!! :)
Beautiful❤
Pretty. The table too.
Aw, thanks!🙂
What an awesome tranformation your table came out nice ty for the video...
Thank you, Chris!!! :)
I think I can do this. What was the wax that you used at the end?
Hi, Connie! I used Annie Sloan wax in clear. Thank you for watching and best of luck with your project! 🤗❤️
How do you clean your table after meals? What did you use to seal it and make it smooth ?
Amazing finish. I was surprised that you did not have to sand before painting! Is this ok with any table?
So Awesome! I am going to be painting our dining table white soon too! It is a table I got from Pottery Barn a few years ago. It has some sort of wood stain-looking veneer on top, that is peeling/scratched off on some areas. Under that, it looks like a pine color, but not smooth. Im not sure what this table is made out of?

Amazing final product!! Thanks
Great tutorial Thank you ,, I am trying my first piece today,, I have never painted a piece of furniture in my life .
I am as well..I'm getting a buffet piece from my friend..I'm getting some last minute tips from watching these videos.

After applying chalk paint and wax can you use the top with dishes and glasses or does it stain easily. Can it be cleaned with soap and water?
enjoyed video...very professional...and not too many "ums"...thank you

This is a great DIY thank you! Do you recommend the dark wax on certain pieces?
Theresa, thank you for the compliment! Yes, I think the dark wax gives such a cool finish, especially if you want a highly textured piece or a more vintage or rustic look.
Very helpful! Thank you!
Looks great but what's the difference between chalk paint and regular flat paint?
CSvids well, you’d need to at least use a primer with regular paint, you might also need to sand. Chalk paint adheres to virtually any surface with no priming or prepping (other than making sure it’s clean.) so that’s a big bonus when using chalk paint. It cuts down the prep time and labor involved. I don’t know the “science” behind it, but it’s pretty remarkable, IMO. You can paint fabric, leather, metal, etc. A very interesting and incredible product!

Thanks that was very helpful!
AWESOME!!!!!
Hello...came across your videos and I must say Bravo! I have a similar dining table that is finished with a gloss. Would you recommend I sand it down before I begin to paint? Also after you distressed your table did you wax it again? My apologies for the questions. Im soo tempted to do my table but so scared at the same time. Thank you for sharing your videos and keep them coming :)
Hi, Jisenia , and thanks for your comment! 😃 yes, I lightly waxed over the distressed parts. So far, my table is holding up pretty well! I am pleased with the results. For your table, I think it would depend on how glossy the finish is. According to Annie Sloan, you are supposed to be able to apply the chalk paint over pretty much any surface. I think the exception is mahogany. Maybe try doing a test area to see if the paint is going to adhere to the gloss? However, I would suggest that if it is a very thick layer of very glossy finish, you may want to be on the safe side and sand it down first. Hope that helps.😁
MissJustinaMarie Thank you for the advice😉
Love it!
THANK YOU!!!
Aw, thanks so much! :)
Thank you so much for subscribing, Lucia! As for your table, as long as there is no "rush" to refinish your table, just think about it for a while and maybe also look into other refurbishing methods. For ex., I'd love to try gel stain one day. :)
Very nice video
Thanks!
It looks beautiful, I Love like to give life to the olds.... But my question is why this type of brush....? Thanks again for the great video and efforts.... Gbu
great video but I have a question do u add the wax after you have distress it with sand paper or it doesnt matter?
Thank you, Oscar! I've found that it doesn't really matter. What I did was wax it first, then I distressed it, then I went back over the distressed areas with the wax. I believe you can wait to wax the whole thing at once after it's been distressed. Hope that answers your question! :)
MissJustinaMarie thank u very much
Gorgeous table, even more so painted. 😄
