Hi! First time watching any of your videos and I enjoyed it. I'm not an expert but I've learned some basic things along the years. 1. Use a drop cloth under your item. No paint spots on garage floor make hubby's happy. 2. Pour the paint you think you are going to use in a separate container. It protects the paint and you won't have a hard time opening the can next time. 3. Lift the legs up on pieces of wood or whatever you have around. 4. To avoid getting the paint where you don't want it (like the side part) use an old piece of fabric, plastic, etc. I put painters tape on the edge of whatever I'm using and cover the area. BTW, some people put a nail in the bottom of the legs to elevate. After all that said, you did a good job. I loved how the Rustolium Chalk paint went on so evenly. And, I've never used wax before and it doesn't look so difficult. Thanks.
I do this in our garage and the one thing hubby comments on are the couple drops which may have inadvertently spilled/dripped on to the garage floor. I’m like, seriously? It’s a GARAGE floor who cares? So you hit the nail on the head with that one!! 😂
I thought it was just me. I was worried about the drips on the concrete floor. Kept thinking about that as I watched. Enjoyed the content and instructions. Always happy to learn more. Thanks ..
This video is so original. No big tools, no so much knowledge or companies endorsing there product and the result a beautiful table. Cudos to you
Looks beautiful. I dont have money for new furniture. My mom passed away in May 2021 and all her furniture is here in what was our apartment. Two pieces are solid wood and I want to go beachy theme. This is what I want and this is what I will get. Thanks for the great video. Can't wait to see my project done.
Hey, sorry about your Mum. 💖
And I know what minimum cash is like! 😳
But, this was not whitewashing. She did fantastic don't get me wrong, but she applied paint to the SURFACE, whitewashing floods the paint INSIDE the wood not on top of it. And the best thing, whitewashing is mega cheap to do! Half a can of paint could whitewash an entire houseful of furniture.
I found a quick tutorial and this lady nails it! Perfect demo! She uses a grey stain as her first step but only because she wanted a grey undertone.
*That's a totally optional step!*
That was her personal preference and not essential. If you wanted a bluey green undertone, just water down kids paint or gel food colouring! (Told you it was cheap! 😜)
Here you go! Hope it gives you hope of affording the transformation you're after and brings many more years of use, enjoyment and memories from your Mum's furniture.
.........
Couple of extra points: The only extra expense is a clear wax *IF* you want to seal it after, but again it's not necessary. The idea of true whitewashing is to be able to feel and see the actual wood, not the coating. So it looks truly weathered. Like driftwood! Perfect for your beachy vibe! 😊
The only downside I guess is LOTS of prep! You have to sand until your reach the original wood. If you find your inner raw wood to be a little dark as a base, coat it with watered down bleach a few times to get your perfect weathered, coastal shade, and then add a watery coloured undertone if you wish. You could even just skip that step and add the colour to the watery paint! Why let white have all the fun? I'm sure bluewashing or tealwashing would be equally gorgeous! So possible extra expense is a ton of sandpaper and elbow grease! 😳 Or a cheap mouse sander if that alarms you! 😂😂😂
Enjoy the video xxxxxx

Oooh another thought...have you see pallet walls? Using free pallet wood strips and glueing or nailing them to an entire wall? If not Google them! Gorgeous! Was just picturing a wall like that, paint washed to match a dining table! How gorgeous would that look in a beachy home! Wrap cheap vases with burlap or jute string or nautical rope and fill with Dollar Tree fake flowers. There's tons of coastal Dollar Tree videos on here! My home's coastal too, so trust me I know! 😜 I'm in England though, so we have Poundland instead of Dollar Tree. Go to charity shops for extra pieces or things that can be altered. Home decor pieces can be made very cheaply. Plain glass jars with paint swirled around inside, and wrapped with lots of jute twine round the neck and hung up, look like glass fisherman's floats! Making fishing rope is very easy with jute twine and looks great holding jars for tea light candles or vases of trailing faux vines. I'm getting excited for you lol! 😘😘😘
WoW! So beautiful! I have never refurbished furniture and now I will. The farmhouse distressed look is exactly what I'm going for. And this is no doubt my inspiration to go for it!! Thank you 🙏
Love Love Love how the table turned out!
And the layout of the whole video was put together nicely as an excellent tutorial. The way you showed all the products you were going to use, close up shots so we could see the labels, makes it easy for us to shop the same products. And all the graphics you have added makes it visually easy to watch and learn. I have a couple things I have procrastinated in because I wasn't sure if a process or color, now I know! Thank you!😊
Thank you so much for your feedback!
Totally loved it thought it was such a beautiful white wash/gray wash coastal look! You did a wonderful job and I appreciated the way you went through each step! Fabulous!!! 😁😁
I love how you took the time to explain everything regardless how long the video is, please keep doing more DIYs ❤️
I really love what you did with the table and your step by step instructions are great! Thank you.
Love it! That’s the exact color I want for my dining room table. I’m terrified to do it myself. You’ve halfway convinced me to try it myself Instead of hiring help.
You can do it!
Love the white wash and looks great in your living room
Yes, DYI projects! My new adventure!
I have the same table and updated and love it! I left the top wood, but after seeing yours, I may reconsider! Well done.
I love the way your table turned out ! It’s beautiful !!! and your instructions were so easy to understand , thank you so much for making this video 😊
I loved how it turned out...I definitely want to try this on some of my furniture...thank you for sharing!!!
Cute table....and a really cute living room. The dogs are precious. I also like your rug.
Beautiful job you rocked it!! Looks so nice!! I prefer it with just the stain but either is gorgeous!! More projects like this please.
Great work x I loved it best with the natural wood top after sanding.
Table looks awesome! Thank you for making my thoughts about my dining table come to life!
Love the finished table, nicely done can't wait to whitewash my outdoor patio table. Thanks for your video it will be fun to try something new.
This table is gorgeous! I know some have commented that they preferred the natural wood, it did look gorgeous too but personally I love the white wash! X
Turned out nicely! Love the whitewashed look.
Loved this so much and love that you’re posting videos in addition to the blog!
Thank you!! xo xo xo
Super interesting! Now i just have to wait for warmer weather so I can "gray-wash" my coffee table in my garage. Thanks very much for the the easy instructions!
I just found your video for a project I’m working on now, I did it exactly how you did, but mine was a small dresser and matching end tables and they turned out gorgeous! Thank you!!
Looks great! I'm working up the nerve to paint my black dining room table and this definitely helps!
It did come out beautiful but I believe I would have left the top as is and just coated it with a clear wax. The wood grain was so pretty and it is lost in the white wash.
It looked so pretty before that lol
Agreed or maybe a white wax if she wanted to fade out the wood color a bit, that top job did the table no service though
@@jordanbelmonte4992 Can you put hot pots, water droplets on the waxed table top? I mean, would it show marks once you put the white wax over ??
If you can't decide which you like better you can always do both. Say a table with five top boards leave three without.
I think the white looks good with the room
Thanks for sharing!
I’m going to try to refinish my old fashion dining hutch. Making two cabinets by removing the top glass one
I tried to sell with no luck. Now I’ll have 2 master pieces!!
Oh my gosh thank you so much! This is one of the best videos on distressing
Good video for beginners like me! I’m only experimenting making chalk paint. Dont know anything about stains and other types of products! I like to see total progress including mistakes. Even though perfect work and videos look great if someone just does the over talking on the videos you dont get to hear or see the oops I shouldn’t have done that. One bit of advice is a drop cloth. If you dont have any first use large black plastic garden bags cut open then and old sheet. Sheet absorbs and plastic protects floor. Will be looking at more videos! Thanks!
The table looks amazing. Fits right in
So happy to have found this video after watching many others. You've inspired me to go for it! Thank you for the detailed information!
You are so adorable. Thank you for this demo. It looks beautiful. I cannot wait to try my hand at this.
I love this video. I know that people are saying the top looked great as it was, and I agree, but I understand that it was not the look you were going for. I am definitely going to try this whitewash technique!
Always wondered how people do this, I LOVE this look! Thank you 🤩 Need to try this asap!
Thank you! 😃

Table looks great in your environment. Love the pooches!
Thank you! Great video, and I adore your dogs! It's so nice they go with your furniture.
I will be trying this technique for sure and you have given me more confidence to get going with it!
Gorgeous, loving it and only took time and patience.
I followed this video to repurpose a bedroom nightstand and it turned out adorable!!!
I love it. Table came out great!
Perfect. You got your desired look & no power tools. Everyone thinks you have to spend $ on new tools.
Awesome it's very cute I live it I had found my from my old neighbor putting it to the trash so I got all my stuff tomorrow am I can't waiting I also have a mix of Victorian coutch with the wood all way around it and China cabinet 1930 light in it I won't change the light baigh and gold glass shelves beautiful it's all come together for only 35 dollars all rest found and bought white wash for my coffee table!enjoy yours for yrs to come!🙏💓✌
BEAUTIFUL. I love the table top. It is amazing how much a little elbow grease and paint can Beautify something. Thanks for sharing.
I rescued a table similar to the style of your coffee table, it was a console. It has two openings on the top that had acrylic inserts, but my plan is to replace them with wood and stain it the same color as the top. I ordered all of the items you used for your project. Thank you for the step-by-step instructions! You did a beautiful job giving that piece of furniture a new life!👍
Love love love this ... Beautiful!
Always work WITH the grain, whether staining, painting, buffing... it came out so nice!! Good job!
Absolutely bloody love it!!! You did such a fantastic job and have totally inspired me 😃
I love it! Especially hiw the too turned out! 😃👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful! I love the outcome!
I think the table looks REALLY GREAT...you did a very thorough job and a very informative tutorial..also wanted to say LOVE LOVE LOVE the rug you have under the coffee table..it is absolutely GORGEOUS..YOU GO GIRL..!!!!!…🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
This woodworking book is really detailed, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?
I loveeeeee it. I'm glad u did the top . The natural wood WAS GORGEOUS but I like the whitewash, especially if you're going for a farmhouse look. Awesome. Def gonna do this to my coffee table too
It looks great!!!!!! And seems like a relatively easy project. Would love to continue to see more diy videos!
Thanks, Jess!!
Great detailed video. You made it fun to see it. Very helpful.
Wow I really like the light stain, girl it turned out beautiful 🤗💕
Absolutley love it ...thank you for sharing 😊👍 Totally love your doggies 🥰🌈
It looks so freaking BEAUTIFUL! Good job!
Really like how it turned out! I’m doing the same to a dining table & chairs.
Great job! I like how you explain your steps and method, easy to follow. I really loved the original wood grain on the top and would of left it with the distressed look on the sides and legs which you finished so well. Now I'm ready to try it, it will be my 1st time. I'm doing a white frame on a large mirror that was my Moms.
It’s imperfectly perfect! Cute video.
Oh wow!!!
I love it!!! Just what I want to do to my dinnett table the colors for the top and the legs!!!
You killed it!!🥰👍🏾
I'm going to use yours to do my TaBlE, I'm excited👍🏾 thanks👍🏾
Good evening I’ve always wanted to whitewash my small breakfast table and I appreciate you for showing me a technique. Happy holidays and have a blessed weekend darling . Thanks so much 🙏🏽♥️
Thanks!!! This is great! It really gives me an idea on how to whitewash wood furniture and I’m not as terrified to ruin the furniture🤍💞
Really beautiful with the rest of your furniture. Love it 😍
Facebook market place it is the BOMB you can find almost everything and turned it into gems 💎.. I’m addictive to it and I’m happy I found this video tomorrow I’m going to pick up two end tables that bought 😜😜
This is the first video I have watched with you. I'm so happy I found you. Your personality is...me. Beautiful job on the perfect table!! ❤
I searched for white washing furniture and your's came up first and wow do I love it!
So two years later, do you still love it?
Here's a tip.. Buy Walmart Grab n Go paint..(flat), add 2 tablespoons of plaster paris mixed with water to 2 cups paint.. Chalky paint diy.. It goes on easy. Use wax or varethane finish...I'll be doing just that on my Broyhill Fontana tables I've had forever. The white wash with sunwashed can also be done with grey paint .. just wash it and use your brush to make the grain like finish!
The Reclaimed Heirloom is a master with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint if you're interested in learning more.. You did an amazing job!
Blessings~
Love the table end results. I would love to see more like this one ☝️ I’m new subscriber. Blessings!
Wow now I know could do this type of project thank you.
I’m going to try this on my dining table wish me luck.
Hi! I'm planning on doing my dining farmhouse table and bench. Any tips?
I absolutely love this look. I want to do this on my kitchen cabinet doors x
That's a fabulous idea! I have been wondering what I could possibly do to brighten up my kitchen with its 80's oak cabinets, so Thank You for mentioning that, Lesley Ann!!
I did this to a coffee table I found at a thrift store years ago! Wish I would have known you didn't have to sand the whole thing down all the way. It took me DAYS to get it all sanded down because my arms kept getting tired and my hand was cramping from using the hand sander to get every last bit off haha! Yours looks incredible!! Great job!!
Thank you!!!
You actually don’t have to sand at all for chalk paint. That’s why people love it!
Pretty, but I liked it with the natural wood top. Those 2 colors looked so pretty together. Good job though.
Perfect!!! It’s beautiful
I mean, you don’t even put a plastic on the ground. My kinda girl. It’s defeating when you see a DYI video with so many equipment but on the other hand, you are so relatable.
Love all the pillows and your apron!
That looks amazing! Thanks for the tutorial!!
I love how real you are! This is the first time I've stumbled upon your channel! Looking forward to checking out the other videos you've got! This table turned out SO CUTE! I could see it with white washed legs and a dark stain top (maybe you could do that later if you change up your decor??) I'll be referencing this video again and again when I whitewash my coffee table! Hope you're having an amazing week!
😭 awwwww this is the nicest comment ever!!! I've been thinking about doing dark to the top or keeping the OG color if I change it up! 😃 thanks for stopping by! Have fun on your next project!!
Fantastic job. Thank you for recording this ❤️
I think it's perfect. Very good job.
Love it! I'm going to try your chalk paint with whitewash stain over it on a chair Im refurbishing. Thanks for you honest down to earth process. 👏💜
That is beautiful U did a great job on that table! Thank U for sharing! 😊
Such a hard worker.. Awesome job!! Even your dog matches🤣🤣
Thanks for the video! You actually make this seem doable. Well done 👍
Thanks for showing such a simple method.
I like what you did here, great job!!
I love it. Made it so much easier for me to do. Thank you!
Video was great. I made a couple of old pieces and came up beautiful
You are talented, the coffee table looks High End and so different from when you first showed us.

Love the table! Thanks for sharing.
Wow I used to watch you AGES ago and just came across this video as trying to make my tv unit into Hamptons style. Glad you're still making videos ☺️
Wow.. A lot of people are saying what I was thinking about leaving the top! But good thing you did that step, because I needed to see that part. Nice toot.
Great job. All the info I needed. Thanks
awesome job! you did the top with wax 1st then chalk paint. So much better then what I've done❤
Love the table n video.... easy to follow! I'm going to attempt my dining room table! 🤞🏼🙏🏼
Thanks for teaching me how to get that look ❤
Wow! I love it!!
Gorgeous!!!! You did great!!
I think you did a great job and I love it! I also love your dogs and that rug!
Your hair makes your skin just glow!
That looks so good!!
What a great video tutorial! Thanks so much for recording it. Learned some new things and it doesn’t hurt that you are also easy on the eyes. I mean that in the least creepiest way possible 😆
