I do this in our garage and the one thing hubby comments on are the couple drops which may have inadvertently spilled/dripped on to the garage floor. I’m like, seriously? It’s a GARAGE floor who cares? So you hit the nail on the head with that one!! 😂

I thought it was just me. I was worried about the drips on the concrete floor. Kept thinking about that as I watched. Enjoyed the content and instructions. Always happy to learn more. Thanks ..

It looked so pretty before that lol

Agreed or maybe a white wax if she wanted to fade out the wood color a bit, that top job did the table no service though

@@jordanbelmonte4992 Can you put hot pots, water droplets on the waxed table top? I mean, would it show marks once you put the white wax over ??

If you can't decide which you like better you can always do both. Say a table with five top boards leave three without.

I think the white looks good with the room

Thank you so much for your feedback!

Hey, sorry about your Mum. 💖 And I know what minimum cash is like! 😳 But, this was not whitewashing. She did fantastic don't get me wrong, but she applied paint to the SURFACE, whitewashing floods the paint INSIDE the wood not on top of it. And the best thing, whitewashing is mega cheap to do! Half a can of paint could whitewash an entire houseful of furniture. I found a quick tutorial and this lady nails it! Perfect demo! She uses a grey stain as her first step but only because she wanted a grey undertone. *That's a totally optional step!* That was her personal preference and not essential. If you wanted a bluey green undertone, just water down kids paint or gel food colouring! (Told you it was cheap! 😜) Here you go! Hope it gives you hope of affording the transformation you're after and brings many more years of use, enjoyment and memories from your Mum's furniture. ......... Couple of extra points: The only extra expense is a clear wax *IF* you want to seal it after, but again it's not necessary. The idea of true whitewashing is to be able to feel and see the actual wood, not the coating. So it looks truly weathered. Like driftwood! Perfect for your beachy vibe! 😊 The only downside I guess is LOTS of prep! You have to sand until your reach the original wood. If you find your inner raw wood to be a little dark as a base, coat it with watered down bleach a few times to get your perfect weathered, coastal shade, and then add a watery coloured undertone if you wish. You could even just skip that step and add the colour to the watery paint! Why let white have all the fun? I'm sure bluewashing or tealwashing would be equally gorgeous! So possible extra expense is a ton of sandpaper and elbow grease! 😳 Or a cheap mouse sander if that alarms you! 😂😂😂 Enjoy the video xxxxxx kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q6l7bLV1tLzInZs.html

Oooh another thought...have you see pallet walls? Using free pallet wood strips and glueing or nailing them to an entire wall? If not Google them! Gorgeous! Was just picturing a wall like that, paint washed to match a dining table! How gorgeous would that look in a beachy home! Wrap cheap vases with burlap or jute string or nautical rope and fill with Dollar Tree fake flowers. There's tons of coastal Dollar Tree videos on here! My home's coastal too, so trust me I know! 😜 I'm in England though, so we have Poundland instead of Dollar Tree. Go to charity shops for extra pieces or things that can be altered. Home decor pieces can be made very cheaply. Plain glass jars with paint swirled around inside, and wrapped with lots of jute twine round the neck and hung up, look like glass fisherman's floats! Making fishing rope is very easy with jute twine and looks great holding jars for tea light candles or vases of trailing faux vines. I'm getting excited for you lol! 😘😘😘

You can do it!

Thank you! 😃

Thank you!! xo xo xo

Thank you!!!

You actually don’t have to sand at all for chalk paint. That’s why people love it!

That's a fabulous idea! I have been wondering what I could possibly do to brighten up my kitchen with its 80's oak cabinets, so Thank You for mentioning that, Lesley Ann!!

Thanks, Jess!!

This woodworking book is really detailed, *TopFineWoodworking. Com* ! With the aid of this plan, I was able to use words, drawings, real images and different diagrams. It is really an informative product. I am presently making furniture together with my brother and thanks to this product, I feel like helping him is possible.?

😭 awwwww this is the nicest comment ever!!! I've been thinking about doing dark to the top or keeping the OG color if I change it up! 😃 thanks for stopping by! Have fun on your next project!!

Thanks, Alex!
