How To Update A Farmhouse Table With Paint

This farmhouse table has been in our family for over 20 years. I have so many memories of our family sitting around this piece of furniture.  When we moved, this table didn’t fit in our new space but I just couldn’t part with it so it became the desk in our office.  Luckily, when we finished our lake house fixer upper, this sturdy table had a new home.  Unfortunately,  it had a honey-oak stain that didn’t fit into the rustic modern vision I had for the lake house decor.  No worries…I have a solution.

I am going to prepare the surface and paint it with chalk style paint to give it a farmhouse feel.  Chalk style paint has amazing adhesion qualities but I promise you, as a professional painter, nothing sticks to grease and grime. Any piece that is worth upcycling  is worth the prep work to give it a long-lasting finish.

Painted Farmhouse Table Instructions:  The Bench

The bench and the table had some deep scratches from years of use so I prepped them using my tried and true system for painting cabinetry and furniture.

I brushed one coat on the entire surface. Let dry. Lightly buff with a sanding sponge. Repeat.

Using a good quality brush and a mohair roller, apply 2 coats of a
durable sealer. This will seal the chalk paint and create a durable finish for your table.
