Double Distressed Farmer's Table

Total Time: 3 hours

Yield: 1

Supplies:

• table
• French Teal chalkboard paint
• water based varnish
• foam paint brushes
• sandpaper and/or finishing sander
• soft rag

Steps:

1. I sanded the top of the table because it was painted black and none of the black paint had worn off like it had on the legs. I also lightly sanded the sides of the table to remove some more of the black paint.

 

 
2. Using a foam brush, I painted the entire table with French Teal chalk paint.

 
3. Before the paint dried, I wet a soft rag in a container of water and rubbed some of the chalk paint off of the legs and top to give it a distressed look and to allow the black paint underneath to show through.

4. Allowing the paint to dry, I varnished or "sealed" it with a water based varnish.
   And here is my "double distressed" farmer's table.
