Have you ever seen decor that looks like a showroom for a furniture store?
That’s one thing I try to avoid when I start decorating, so I like to mix and match older pieces with new items.
But sometimes the old items just majorly don’t work anymore. Like our dining set. So brown. So black vinyl. So not working…
But I loved the bones — the frame of the table and the fact that we can put in the leaf for entertaining guests. So I decided to give it a major face lift instead of just replacing it.
DIY Chalk Paint Dining Table Makeover
Supplies
- Hammer
- Staple gun and staples
- All purpose cleaner
- Sandpaper
- Americana Decor Chalky Finish Paint
- Americana Decor Ultra Matte Varnish
- Lint free rag
- Paintbrushes
Instructions
1. For the table and chairs, begin by sanding any imperfections to provide a smooth, even surface.
2. Clean everything thoroughly with a lint-free cloth and all purpose cleaning spray or white vinegar mixed with water.
3. Brush on thin, even coats of chalky finish paint. You don’t need to prime the surface with chalk paint, and a lot of the time, it’s supposed to take a single coat.
I did end up needing three coats of the white and two coats of the grey to cover the dark wood and black finishes.
4. To reupholster the chairs, begin by unscrewing the seats.
5. Remove the staples, and lift off the existing seat cover.
6. Use the original cover as a template to cut a new cover from the curtain fabric.
7. Staple the curtain fabric (over the original cover) back onto the seat, and screw the seat back on.

You did not mention the varnish?
Are these paints harm to eat over them?
harmful*
It’s not harmful to have it on a table you’re eating on, but I would paint dishes with them.
babys room?? They would be great to see
How much paint did it take? I want to paint my table just like yours! Looks great!
Hello! I just redid my table as well using chalk paint! Where did you find your placement decor?
Isn’t it fun doing a furniture makeover?! The place settings are from IKEA. 🙂
I am thinking about painting my current table, this is a great post! How was the table held up so far?
WOW! What a difference. It looks great! I’d love to see an update down the road to see how it’s holding up.
So creative! Definitely trying this. Thank you+
