HOW TO TURN YOUR TABLE INTO A FARM TABLE

Currently trending right now, Farm Tables and Farmhouse Decor are EVERYWHERE! I
recently had a client that wanted to transform her outdated dining room table
she had for years into a rustic Farm Table without breaking the bank. I was able
to do just that using just one material- PAINT! This DIY Farm Table is super
simple to tackle and create and will save you a ton of money. You'll be loving
your new farmhouse decor in literally a day.
The best thing about this technique is that you don't have to use a natural wood
table. Even if your table is mahogany or dark cherry wood, just by using a good
oil-based primer and some paint, you can transform it into a farm table. Try
this technique out on any table in your home, whether a coffee table, end table,
kitchen table, or even a headboard or wood plank wall. Anything made of wood
would look amazing using this process.
To start, simply sand down the entire table to get off any rough spots or
debris. Wipe clean and prime the table entirely using a good oil-based paint if
your table has a shiny varnish topcoat, or is super dark. If not, a regular
water-based primer will work just fine.
After that dries, apply your first coat of paint. In this case to match the
walls of her dining room, I used 3 different paints; dark grey, light grey, and
cream. I apply the darkest color first, adding a little water to the paint,
which in turn makes it easier to apply and sand when dry.
After that coat dries, lightly sand down the table allowing the white primer and
original table color to show through here and there. Start with a 150 grit
sandpaper and go down in number if you need to sand off more.

Wipe clean and apply the lighter grey color (or your second lightest color),
again diluting it with a little water. Apply the same steps after that dries as
above.
The last step is to spot-paint with the white or cream colored paint. This is
your last paint to apply so smooth it out as you go and apply where ever you
think some light spots should be. You're going to sand this down as well after
it dries to blend it in to the entire table.
Your final step after fully wiping the entire table down of any debris or dust,
is to put on a final finishing coat. I prefer Rust-oleum's Chalked Matte Clear
topcoat or Minwax's Polycrylic in Satin (water-based). Avoid making it too shiny
because this is a farm table and we want to keep it as rustic and natural
looking as possible.
Lastly have fun with it! This shouldn't be stressful AT ALL! The colors you
choose are YOUR CHOICE and should be ones that match the colors of your home or
room. The table shouldn't look perfect so if you mess up it's totally fine, just
paint over whatever spot(s) you don't like and sand it again to blend in. If
after you paint your last coat with the white/cream color you feel it's too
light, no problem. Just go back into either of the darker colors and paint on
some darker spots. Again this your table so make it adhere to your taste. Fix it
however you like before putting the final finishing coat on. And enjoy your new
rustic DIY FARM CHIC Farm table!
My clients love this table transformation in their home!
And a refinished hutch to match~

Hmmm. I have an oak table that I’ve been planning on refinishing. However, I
was wondering...do you think I could use A water based primer that’s been
tinted to a cream color? Then I could sand it to expose the the oak and poly
it. It would save a couple of steps of painting and sanding again. Watcha
think?

My first time doing a furniture makeover! It turned out great! I'm so happy
that I found your directions on here! Your directions were very easy to
follow. The sanding took the longest obviously but once i completed that it
was smooth sailing. The table is 20 year's old and we got it from my in laws.
I just finished it last night. So, I'm excited to bring it into our home.
Here's the Before and After pictures!
