Farmhouse Table Makeover

Thanks For Sharing!

I am proud to be a 3M sponsored blogger, and, as part of my responsibilities, I get the opportunity to evaluate ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape. Opinions are my own and additional products used in the farmhouse table makeover were selected by me.

I’ve been wanting to update our dining area for some time now. It’s a space that has NEVER felt complete to me no matter how many times I move things around and I’m determined to get it right. So over the next few months I’ll be taking you through a process of making sublet changes that make a huge different. Ready for the step 1?

After years of contemplation, I finally gave my dining room table a complete makeover using sand paper, stain, paint and ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape! That’s all it took for this Farmhouse Table Makeover. The whole project cost roughly $85. 

Farmhouse Table Makeover

farmhouse table makeover – tired of your old kitchen table?

We bought this table back in 2008 with money that we received as a wedding gift. It was also one of the first big furniture purchases we made as newlyweds so it definitely holds some sentimental value. BUT, over the years it has been through a lot. A dog, two kids and two adults and one of those is a very messy crafter (can you guess who?). And if you were thinking it was my three-year-old, you are wrong. Let’s just say it was in need of a major facelift.

I am a huge fan of two tone pieces and I knew right away that’s what I wanted to do on this table. I love the rich dark wood mixed with the rustic white. It’s heavenly.

– ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape for Multi-Surface with Advanced Edge-Lock™ Paint Line Protector 2093 EL

– Orbit Sander

– 50 grit and 220 grit sand paper

– white chalky paint

– clear soft wax

– paint brushes

– dark walnut stain

– semi-gloss polyurethane (Polycrylic is best to use as it has a hard protective finish that allows the water to bubble up)

farmhouse table makeover – sanding

So this is what the table looked like when I started. Yup, here it is in all its glory. It was definitely in need of some love.

I started by sanding down the entire table top with 50 grit sand paper. Then I went over it with 220 grit paper to create a really smooth surface. This worked really well. It look me about 3 hours to strip the tabletop and prep it for staining.

PS. Make sure you wear a respiratory mask and glasses while sanding!

Table Tutorial 2

Next up, staining. I went with a Dark Walnut stain. It’s my favorite and matches everything else in my house. Typically, I only do one coat of stain on my projects because I love seeing the woodgrain, but this time I went with two coats to really richen the look.

I waited 24 hours and then applied a layer of water-based semi-gloss polyurethane to seal it.

Table Tutorial 3

Because I went with a two-tone look I really wanted a crisp line to distinguish the stain and the white paint so I used  ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape for Multi-Surface withAdvanced Edge-Lock™ Paint Line Protector to create that really clean line. This type of tape is perfect to use on wood projects. Its really gentle on the surface but still creates a perfect line.

I taped the top and then gave the table two coats of a light chalky paint.

Table Tutorial 1

To give the table a rustic farmhouse style, I gave it a chippy look by taking sand paper and roughing up the edges. And I finished off the piece with clear soft-wax on both the chalky paint and over the top of the table top. I love the finish with the wax, it is so smooth.

Chair Tutorial 1

farmhouse table makeover – the chairs

For the chairs, I did the same technique as the table. Sand with 50 grit, then 220 grit. Stain with Dark Walnut. Seal. Tape with Tape with ScotchBlue™ Painter’s Tape. 2 Coats of Chalky Paint. Distress. Wax.

I seriously love how clean the lines are between the two tones. This tape rocks.

Table Top Before and After

Look at that difference! I’m so glad I removed the existing finish, not just because it was so scratced but because it looked  too manufactured. Now you can see the wood grain and it is full of character.

Before and After Table makeover

I’m so excited about this first step in the dining room makeover project. By refinishing the table and replacing the rug I can already see a transformation!

We chose to get rid of the original bench that went with the table. I loved the look but no one in my family seemed to like sitting on it, so I thought it was time to switch it out. I’d love to find metal accent chairs for either side of the table, I just can’t seem to find the right size!

While I would absolutely LOVE to put alternative flooring in the dining area, it’s just not in the cards for this house. So for now, I’ll have to use a pretty rug to help keep the carpets clean :)

      I’ve only done a few pieces with Chalk Paint, I generally use Annie Sloan but this time I went with Amy Howard Brand. I liked it, it definitely took some getting used to because the texture was different than AS. But it is a little cheaper. I used Metropolitan Gray, it is pretty much white with just a very subtle tint.

We had a lacquered pine table, so we had to do a lot of sanding, and my husband being an anal cabinet maker we sprayed the table white and also a top coat over the stain to try and protect it a bit from the kids.
    Anyway thank you for sharing this! I now love my table again!

    Beautiful~ can you explain why you used the Clear wax? I redid some stools and used chalk paint, then sanded to rough up the edges, then put on a dark antiquing wax, then finished with clear polyurethane. Chalk paint mentions using clear wax but I don’t understand what exactly it does. Thanks!

    • Taryn Whiteaker says

      November 10, 2016 at 10:01 am

      Hi Lindsey!There are several different kinds sealing method you can use when working with Chalk Paint, it just comes down to personal preference and how you will be using the piece. When sealing a piece with Chalk Paint, you can use furniture wax or polyurethane or polycrylic. There are several different shades of wax you can use, they all do the same thing just have a different look. Clear wax just enriches the color of the paint but leaves a clear finish and the dark wax will darken the paint and give it more of an antique look. Also, you don’t need to use a polyurethane on top of that, you would generally choose one or the other. I typically use polyurethane when staining a piece of furniture, and I use polycrylic on top of painted or stained pieces that could potentially have water spilled on them because polycrylic leaves a hard protective finish. I hope that helps!

        I love your finished table. I am about to stain the top of my table and I don’t want to mess it up. I’ve read your almost all the comments and replies as well as your step by step instructions and I want to be sure I understand correctly what I’m reading.

        First you stained the table top with 2 coats of stain, Second you added the Satin Polycrylic to table top, Third you finished off the table top by applying the Annie Sloan wax

        Please let me know if that’s correct?

        Thank you so much!

          Yes! You have it exactly correct. You don’t necessarily HAVE to do the wax since you are using the polycrylic, it just adds an extra layer of protection since it will be used so much.

    We have this exact table and chairs set. Your blog post gave us just the inspiration we needed as I was having a hard time visualizing the modern lines in a farmhouse style finish. Yours looks BEAUTIFUL! We are partway into the project. The table top and seat pans are now stained. (So much work! but lessons learned.) Now we need to seal. I’ve seen various opinions on polycrylic vs polyurethane on the stained wood surfaces. As well as polycrylic vs wax on the chalk painted finishes. How many coats of the poly did you do? I’ve seen suggestions of two to three coats. How has your table and chairs withstood the test of time? Is it your every day, heavy-use table with kids, meals, homework, etc? Is there anything you would have done differently knowing now what you didn’t know then? I would love to hear from you!

    • Taryn Whiteaker says

      March 11, 2017 at 8:06 am

      Hi! I highly recommend using a Polycrylic on a surface that will have water spilled on it and is a piece that will be used often. The ‘crylic’ leaves a hard protective finish that allows the water to bubble up on it and not absorb into the wood. I recommend doing a couple of coats of it. I do know some people who will wax on top of the polycrylic for an even tougher finish, I did not but you can definitely do that. You will probably need to re-wax and buff it every 6-12 months. We do not have this table anymore, we have since moved and didn’t take the table with us, so I can’t tell you exactly how it held up. Sory! I hope that helps!

      I used a mouse sander but I highly recommend an orbital sander, it will be MUCH faster.

    I love this step by step. I am going ti be attempting by table soon, but Im doing as much research as I can ;-) I was wondering you used. Polyurethane over the stain. What are the benefits of also using the AS wax?

    Hi, I love this!!! So I pretty much have everything that I need. This is the first time I’m doing this but I’m a bit confused with one thing, did you only sand once right at the beginning?
    You didn’t have to sand down after the first or second coat of dark walnut? I’m wondering how you got that neat uneven look!! ( Instead of all same dark walnut color ) please let me know!:)
    Thank you so much in advance!!

    Did you sand the table”s legs and sides, or did you just apply the chalk paint directly to that to get the distressed look?

      I didn’t sand the legs, I did chalk paint directly on them and then gently sanded on top to get the distressed look.

    Did the strain turn out more brown or grey? It looks grey in the pictures, but walnut is usually brown. I love the two tone, but am looking at grey, not brown. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks!!

      Hi! The Dark Walnut is definitely brown! If you want gray you could try Classic Gray by Minwax :) If that is too gray, you can actually mix the two for a darker gray look. I have done this in the past and it works great, you just have to play with the ratio.

    This is a really gorgeous makeover. I’m currently looking for a dinning table, and I’m curious about the table, itself. I understand it was purchased ~10 years ago, but could you tell me where you got it? or who made it?
    Thanks!

      HI! Thank you for your sweet note. We bought the table at World Market, they have tons of great table options!

    Did the wax bring out yellow stains through the chalk paint. I’ve used chalk paint and the yellow has come though. So I just end up going to using flat white paint.
