How To Chalk Paint -- *Easy DIY* Dining Table Tutorial (For Beginners)

[@mslady1luv]

I have the exact same dining room set that belonged to my grandparents. I’ve always wanted to paint it but most of the videos didn’t have tables with that much details. Thank you so much for posting this video.

[@karimgomez6933]

Unbelievable how much bigger and bright the room looks with the light color of the table and chairs.

[@KerriLawless]

Thank you! 🥰

[@jeanitagibson6751]

Nice. I am painting my dining room set as I watch this video.

[@krissieflores9475]

Great job!! I can’t wait to redo mine!!

[@shirleyjohnson3397]

Great looking project. ThankU for sharing 😊

[@aanon5716]

thanks so much. i have a brown ashley dining table i bought a year ago in NYC & it fit in beautifully there, but now im living & working in florida & the brown just doesnt go w/the florida vibe i want. im dying to paint it white but because this is new furniture w/a sheen i thought the paint would not adhere & i didnt want to bother w/ a stripper. its huge 78" w/ 8 chairs, so i was intimidated. but you give me confidence to go ahead! & the chalk paint needs no stripper or sanding??!!! fantastic!

[@loraleftwich9165]

This is beautiful! You ladies make it "doable" for anyone. Thanks so much!!!

[@toninelson1849]

Wow I have that same set! 🤔 thinking I might do the same!

[@bunnytoes7200]

Gorgeous result. Thanks!

[@mrsgemini]

Thank you for this. I have watched tons of videos and this has been the only good one.

[@chrizk.9343]

Great customer support.

[@rollyngonzales9028]

The color was really nice. I'm planning to do that too. I would like to ask if the chalk paint will fade out or peel when it was exposed to water or heat? Thanks.

[@martaperezvirella3868]

Do you have to use the sealing wax if you use the polyacrylic top coat?

[@karenphillips140]

LOVE IT 👍👍

[@carloslondono4672]

Beautiful

[@rosemultari9534]

When you paint a table do you have to paint the top a different colour to the rest? I’m thinking of painting my table but just in one colour

[@cwsing7230]

I love the 2 colours split

[@lindacoppola898]

very cool! you did a great job I hope to try my dining room table too!

[@KerriLawless]

Thanks so much! I would love to see a picture of your table when it’s done! 🥰

[@teresamoody1048]

I would like to paint my dining room table with the same colors as you did. The only color I could find was the cashew. What do you suggest I use in place of the others????

[@lyfaith77]

I would like to see how you did the chairs! How do you cover the bottom to keep the paint off of it? I have a set I'm chalk painting and I am having trouble keeping the paint off the bottom of the chairs.

[@VanessaMallia]

Take the bottoms off they have 4 screws holding them in place

[@allimaali6435]

Beautiful luv

[@KerriLawless]

Thank you Allima!!! 💕

[@allimaali6435]

You put 2 coats of wax to seal ?

[@bizzyfit2128]

very nice

[@biserattedros6992]

Great job ladies, love the team work and it shows in the end result the love put into it. May I ask the order you applied the different paint on the table. I am a beginner and don't want to mess it up. Thank you and great job

[@nataliawagner2330]

In love!!! So beautiful and what a difference! I love it!

[@edwardleto6728]

[@waleskanieves6095]

This looks just like my table! Lol I want to paint it n I being scared to do it, so this helped me a lot!💕

[@jenhoeltzel4978]

How much paint do you need for a table with a leaf and 6 chairs? If using the 3 colors, is the 16 oz size good or do you need 32 oz? Thanks.

[@dixiecamillehartzog9826]

In loooove!!!!!

[@decoratingfanatic]

What color did you use for the top? I love it!

[@KerriLawless]

[@karlagonzalez791]

When using wax would hot plates/cups melt or ruin the top finishing of wax?

[@KerriLawless]

Hi Karla, I'm not too sure about that. The "wax" we use is actually an acrylic topcoat, so I'm not sure why they call it a wax. There are other products out there that are really a wax though. I wouldn't put anything on there that you wouldn't put on a traditionally finished wood table just to be safe. I ruined a traditional finish one time just by putting a really hot plate on it so I always play it safe by putting something under. It is pretty durable, but better safe than sorry. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@johnonethree]

I’m wanting to chalk paint an old drop leaf table. My concern is how it is for eating a meal on it. Getting it wet or hot? Can you tell me how that worked out? Thanks. Great video! Love the look!

[@eleanaparis7094]

Cheryl Doss you cant see it after it’s painted but as always you should use a mat for the wood it’s self but it’s best to protect wood from water or hot bottoms of dishes bowls Ect ..I’m a professional painter for furnitue and find that the info I have provided helps you ...

[@KerriLawless]

Hi Cheryl, Chalk paint is very porous and needs to be sealed well. The acrylic wax that we use has turned out to be quite durable and is water resistant, but I haven't tried anything hot. I would recommend putting something under a really hot dish just in case. Hope that helps and thanks so much for watching!

[@sarahbecker927]

Can I use polycrylic over chalk paint?

[@hannoswanepoel2920]

Yes u can. It is amazing for higher traffic surfaces...like your dining table.😉

[@River-cm9tz]

Nice !

[@KerriLawless]

Thank you!!!

[@fayecraghead6820]

Love the look! I can’t believe the difference! I love to chalk paint so thank you!🥳

[@mariahoyt6492]

Is this top coat durable

[@cwsing7230]

I can see my table will end up painted, and the chairs too

[@antoniaortiz310]

Thanks so much Ben!

[@terrimyers6790]

Are you sure your Facebook link is correct? Also, is your table-top in this video made of wood? My DR table is a veneer, and I'm wondering if the chalk paint will work.

[@KerriLawless]

Terri Myers Hi! Thanks soooo much! No it is not correct. I had someone helping me with that so I will correct it.

[@KerriLawless]

Terri Myers and yes, you can definitely chalk paint veneer as long as you protect it with a couple of coats of the wax.

[@tiffanimurphy531]

Kerri Lawless is the wax you used the same one you’d use on veneer? Also how do you clean it afterwards? Do you have to be careful with cleaners?

[@kimicolburn2615]

What colour

[@lesliejones7609]

Beautiful... So with chalk paint you don’t have to sand?

[@eunicemancinas]

Leslie Jones nope, you do need to seal though with wax or water based wood finish, otherwise it will have a chalky finish and eventually the paint will come off.

Bonjour Zara! Je suis si heureux que vous avez regardé la vidéo et j'aimerais avoir une traduction en français pour vous! Merci beaucoup pour regarder!

[@Kimishaka]

So, what was the total cost?

[@kaynight5820]

You didn’t link the Krud Kutter...

[@KerriLawless]

Just updated! :) Sorry about that!

[@akeilawallace3524]

Oh I’m so doing this !! Also, what was the reason for the water again? I couldn’t catch it maybe I’m having a moment lol

[@KerriLawless]

Hi Akeila, so excited that you’re gonna use this technique! Would love to see pics when you’re done! The reason for using the water is that the chalk paint just kind of sticks when you layer it on top of itself and so in order to get the movement that you want, you use the water to push the paint in the direction you’d like for it to go. Chalk paint is very porous so when you’re layering it on top of more chalk paint, it doesn’t really want to move. I hope that makes sense! LOL.

[@akeilawallace3524]

Kerri Lawless gotcha thanks !!!!

[@reneeelias7168]

While i think it’s almost a sin to repaint a fine table I have to admit the after is stunning.

[@KerriLawless]

Thanks so much Renee!!! 💕

[@lorrainebevis927]

Audio is really bad can Hardly hear you .

[@MrsPaulaTorres]

Oh man watching these diy’s I realize I’ve gotten possibly the worst shape of antique set as it’s So Dirty, it’s Sooooo Dry and Dirty, the carvings are full of half century old dust that’s been sitting in Florida humidity, it’s Stanley furniture dining chairs and China buffet + a 9ft table with two “triple-pedestal” legs and so many carvings oh man, I was so excited to refinish it at first but the chairs are so dry they’re squeaky, this will be way longer than I thought 💆🏼‍♀️

[@yary29]

I though you have to sand it
