How I Whitewashed a Dining Room Table

Рет қаралды 85,495

Күн бұрын

In this video, I show you how to whitewash a dining room table. There are a number of ways you can whitewash wood furniture, but keep in mind this project can be challenging.
I decided to apply a wood stain and then apply a water/paint mix. I washed it with a rag, but I didn't love the results. Instead of wiping the paint, I let the washed paint dry, and then I sanded to get the washed look I was looking for. In the end, I think the table turned out pretty cool! I hope you enjoy the process.

In not an expert on furniture revamping, but the top looked better in a natural color with just a clear coat.

Great job! Wondering why you couldn't add the whitewash right onto the raw wood? not sure why you added the stain

I think..... I'm pretty sure he was just trying to darken up the wood first before he did any type of whitewashing

I usually like the paint and white wash on furniture, but this table in particular looked way better with the first stain. The different wood tones are beautiful and look better with stain and a clear coat. Your work is very detailed and thorough. You take the time to explain . Really good job.

@Furniture Flippa Use mineral spirits with some #0000 steel wool or scrub brush to clean off excess stripper. Mineral sprits will not damage bare wood. You just want to make sure that you wipe it off immediately so the excess doesn't soak in and swell the wood. Repeat until all residue is gone then let dry.

I have a table just like that but it's a little bit more ornate. I would like to restore to the factory finish but don't know how. Even though this young man did a good job on that table I don't necessarily like the painted finish. Can anyone direct me to a site that can help me out

@NitrosMom074 3 жыл бұрын

That’s the look I want for my dining set, but it’s red oak (very 80s). Do you know if the ebony stain will cut back the red? All my test patches end up with either a pink or purple tint when I whitewash.

@FurnitureFlippa 3 жыл бұрын

I did apply ebony on a red colored table before, I just sanded down and applied the stain twice. It came out dark with no red! Maybe let the stain dry and if it looks good you can wash over it?

Also the visible ring of darker wood on top should have been hidden completely with paint and then you should have added a wood grain texture to the top of the white wash.

@rockshot100 3 жыл бұрын

I hate to argue but that top parquet is a veneer if that is what you are referring to. Now "laminate" mostly refers to plastic, but laminate just means to glue sheets together like plywood is. Or a beam could be laminated, meaning sandwiched together to make it more stable.

You should have lightly ran a blow torch over the entire top of the table after you white washed it to give the wood grain definition. And why are you waxing that table?

Too much work going on here! The brand called Farmhouse paint, looks like chalk paint but has primer and topcoat, which dries to a very hard finish. It also drives very quickly two coats but you don't have to do all that prep. Nope resanding unless you have deep gouges in your wood surface that you want to eliminate. Be careful when standing as your wood maybe a laminate.
