Beautiful way to "save" furniture. I love it. Have some outdoor pieces that need help. Do you think that would work if I put a tough sealer on it? Thanks for sharing.
Hi! Your table is beautiful! It was my inspiration for the drawer fronts of a smaller dresser I’m working on. I used 5 colours of chalk paint thinned with water. At first it seemed to work well. But sadly, by the time it was fully dry, it had severely cracked all over the place. I’ve had to remove the whole ugly mess. Any ideas what I did wrong and how I can avoid this when I re-do them? Could it be that the paint wasn’t thinned enough or that I used too many colours? Thank you for any suggestions you may have!
Thank you for your compliment ❤️ Very happy you liked the table. I am sorry to hear what happened on your drawers. I am not sure what went wrong but the suggestion I can give is I think 5 colors may be too much for a drawer front. I would probably go with 3 colors. Also for the paint to crack, my assumption would be that the paint was too thick and perhaps needed a little more water. You want the paint to flow. Not too liquidy like water, and not too thick that it doesnt flow. An inbetween woild be just right. And when you pour the paint make sure you leave it untouched for at least 48-72 hours for it to dry completely. Make sure the temperature of the room is not too hot and humid and not too cold. Do not leave it to dry outdoors. I hope your second time round works out well. I would love to see the results when you are done. Good luck!
Thanks so much. For the base, I painted it with a solid coat of Aubusson blue and when that dried I applied a white wash on top of it and then patted a rag on top of the wash to get this textured look. It's quite simple and gives a beautiful texture.
Wowwww Amazing
Wow! That turned out beautifully!
I had my doubts but wow!! It turned out fantastic! Great job and thank you for sharing.

@@linaawad I'll let you know! I'm going to wait for the heat to break, as I must do it in my garage.
@@Beechnut2U yes would love to know how it turns out. Good luck!
Looks great
Thank you so much ❤️
It looks like you're doing a paint wash😮
I like how the top came out but not the bottom. I would have painted in the Aubusson Blue and that’s it.
Holy sh*t! That table turned out nice af! Boost these vids with adsense for sure...👍
Thank you so much! Appreciate it ❤️
Beautiful way to "save" furniture. I love it. Have some outdoor pieces that need help. Do you think that would work if I put a tough sealer on it? Thanks for sharing.

How did you prep the table top? lovely!
Thank you Susan. I just cleaned the table properly using TSP and a damp cloth.
locking with epoxy resin will work wonders too right
Yes epoxy will be beautiful. I have not done that but I know people that do it and it is gorgeous.

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I’m going to try all of them. Fingers crossed I do better this time.
Looks beautiful! How did you get the distressed look for the legs?
Thanks so much. For the base, I painted it with a solid coat of Aubusson blue and when that dried I applied a white wash on top of it and then patted a rag on top of the wash to get this textured look. It's quite simple and gives a beautiful texture.
did the paint end up sticking to that? any cracking etc?
Yes it did. No cracking or anything at all.
did you do anything at all to prep the table top first...like light sanding, primer, etc?
No I didn’t. I just cleaned it but did not sand or
Prime.
