How to Redo a Coffee Table with Chalk Paint
If your coffee table has seen better days, don't despair! With a little bit of effort and some chalk paint, you can give it a whole new look. Chalk paint is a type of paint that is easy to use and gives a matte finish. It is also very forgiving, so it is a good choice for beginners. Here are the steps on how to redo a coffee table with chalk paint:
Materials you'll need:
• Chalk paint
• Paintbrush
• Sandpaper
• Tack cloth
• Wax or polyurethane (optional)
Instructions:
1. Clean the coffee table with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust.
2. Sand the coffee table lightly with sandpaper to create a smooth surface for the paint to adhere to.
3. Wipe away any dust from the sanding with a tack cloth.
4. Apply a thin coat of chalk paint to the coffee table using a paintbrush. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat.
5. Once the second coat is dry, you can distress the coffee table by sanding it lightly with sandpaper. This will create a more aged and rustic look.
6. Apply a coat of wax or polyurethane to the coffee table to protect the finish. Allow the wax or polyurethane to dry completely before using the coffee table.
Tips:
• If you want a more distressed look, you can apply multiple coats of chalk paint and then sand it back to reveal the layers underneath.
• To create a more modern look, you can use a solid color of chalk paint and then add some geometric designs with a stencil.
• Chalk paint is also great for painting other pieces of furniture, such as chairs, dressers, and nightstands. Get creative and experiment with different colors and techniques to create your own unique one-of-a-kind pieces.
