One of the things I love about this table is that the sides fold down to a 2 person size. I have a very similar one that I inherited from my grandparents. You can see it on my home tour here.

Equipment

  • Paint Sprayer
  • Sander

Materials

  • Paint
  • Paint Brush
  • Krud Kutter

Instructions

  • Sand and Clean the pieces of furniture
  • Paint the furniture using a paint sprayer with desired paint
  • Let the paint dry

For the Reclaimed Wood Look on the table top:

  • I used a damp chip brush and painted on Folk Art Home Decor Chalk Paint in Parisian Gray. Creating a reclaimed, weathered, and barnyard look, I was random with my pattern.
  • While the paint was still wet, I used a damp rag to blend in the brush strokes.
  • I painted on Folk Art Home Decor Wood Tint in the color grey to add some depth to the piece.
