Beginner Painter Here
I have found that I really enjoy refinishing furniture, but I am new at this and learning as I go, so it takes me awhile. Thank goodness for all the helpful blogs full of information out there.
This is a table & chairs that I just finished for someone.
It was actually in pretty good shape before redoing it. But she wanted it to match her kitchen.
I was nervous as I had never done a custom piece for anyone, I usually just finish them as I like them and then pop them up for sale. I will be delivering it Thursday & I hope she likes it....
For this piece I just used some Lowe's paint that I had on hand & added the plaster of paris to give it the chalk look. I had ordered some La Craie chalk paint but it had not arrived by the time I started.
I distressed the table and then I finished it off with La Craie Dark Wax, (by time I finished painting the table my order arrived) which I am just in love with. The wax is so user friendly, which is great because I was a little hesitant since I really didn't know what I was doing. I did take a piece of wood and practice a bit before putting it on the table. Which I recommend for any beginners
So there you have it. If I can makeover a table, anyone can do it ;)
