How to Chalk Paint kitchen table with a white wash for natural weathered pickled wood look

[@ashleywright8686]

Beautiful choice of color for the table base. Such a pretty piece. Also ❤️ the idea of a swivel stool for painting.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Emma Pooch Thanks! Good eye catch on the swivel stool!!!! I usually try to keep my pieces elevated so I can save my back from bending down!! 🎨

[@ashleywright8686]

The Reclaimed Heirloom that’s a great size swivel table. Is it for artists? Where did you purchase?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Emma Pooch You are going to laugh it’s actually a old bar stool we have! If you find one just make sure the legs don’t have wheels, I found its difficult if the legs have wheels the whole piece moves around the room! 😀

I just love your work. Found you about a year ago, but was too timid to try any of your techniques. Now, after I have actually turned my little hobby into a full fledged business, I am going to try this! I absolutely love it!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Wonderful! I hope you enjoy tomorrow’s video! ❤️🙏🎨

This restoration to this beautiful table is amazing !! Love this look. Never thought about using a paint wash over stain. Great idea !! Thanks !!

[@judigallagher1926]

Very nice .. I am glad that you are not talking.. I assume that for most of us who tune to your tutorial have some experience and do not need a lot of explanations. The written tips on the bottom work well for me.. Love the swivel chair idea ..

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you for your kind words!! ❤️🎨🙏

[@frankcicero4444]

I have the same kitchen table ..lol.. and its quite heavy too . That was a good idea putting it on the spinning stool So I might make this table my first piece of art following all of your steps . My 93 year-old father said I can't believe it; its beautiful .

[@soniabanwell6670]

Lacquer over white wax I didn’t know we could do that? I’d love that explained?

[@denisemaples2519]

Yes, I would love to know more about this too.

[@wandadelacruz2486]

The swivel chair is a great idea. The table came out fabulous

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Wanda Delacruz ... Thank you so much for your kind comment and feedback 🙏💙 Yes that swivel stool came in super handy 😉☺️💙 I have two more tables in my near future tore-create from the poor conditions they are in ... I am excited to share more ideas and designs 🎨💙💙

Gracias Yolanda!❤️🎨🙏

Saturday mornings are my mornings where I binge watch your posts. When you finished applying the white wax , how long of a dry time for the wax before applying the lacquer?

[@situr14]

beautiful job❤️

[@katerinafrentzou6224]

Love love love everything you do!!!!You are amazing!!!!!

Hi Katerina! Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! See you next Saturday! 🎨🙏❤️

[@ΚΥΡΙΑΚΗΤΣΙΝΙΔΟΥ]

Many thanks for your lovely videos. Question: is it possible to use wax (oil based material) under lacquer (water based). Are these two materials compatible?

[@janicedeamaral5255]

Hi, Question. There is no issues/problems using Annie Sloan’s lacquer over Annie Sloan dark, clear wax?

[@sheilamashburn1795]

I LOVE your wall behind the table could you tell me more about it?

[@soniabanwell6670]

I’d like to hear more about the wall too. 😝

[@maramalinovschi6715]

Love your works 😍

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Isidrodiaz559]

Wow 👍🏼

[@terrirobinson8031]

Did you paint the apron of the table or just sand and stain? Also, did you use the lacquer on the apron as well?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thank you so much! I painted the apron, you can do either just based on what you like! Yes you can used lacquer as well I hope you enjoy today's new video! ❤️🙏🎨

[@maxinehawes]

Can you do on a dark chocolate brown dinning table please?

[@Lourdes-Ambrosio]

Question: I have a table just like this and this is the look I want for it but the top of mine has that very orangy looking finish, can I use the same colors that you used or do you suggest another color for the wash technique? I'd like to get it in more of a gray tone as those are the colors in my decor. Thank you.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Good question! I recommend just to sand off any of the current colour tone that you don’t like and get the table back to raw wood the best you can and use chalk paint in the colour you want maybe a Paris grey tone and start with a thin wash and build up! This should get you the new colour tone you are wanting to achieve! I also recommend having a white chalk paint available so this way you can perfect 👌 the exact colour tone you want and still maintain control if you feel the grey maybe to grey and need more highlights but still have a natural wood effect 😉🎨💙

[@Lourdes-Ambrosio]

@@TheReclaimedHeirloom Christina thank you so much for taking the time for your advise. I really appreciate. I will be starting this project this week. I can't wait for the finish result! Thank you again.

Emma Pooch Thank you so much 🙏. Some happy doggies this morning!!!!

[@JButler661]

I just found your channel! You do beautiful work. I have a question, how long do you allow the wax to dry before you put on the lacquer? I am so enjoying your videos 💕

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Julie! Welcome to the channel! For that piece I waited for 24 hrs for the wax to dry. For high traffic areas you can skip the wax and do a white wash and do two coats of lacquer/top coat. I find this is a better outcome. Ps if you want a more white pickled look you can add white wax anytime after you have lacquered. Thanks again for subscribing! ❤️🎨🙏

[@JButler661]

The Reclaimed Heirloom thanks so much! I read you are on the Sunshine Coast. I’m in Victoria. Howdy neighbour

[@nicolecourt7829]

Is the dark wax black or brown ?

[@anadeliapardo4478]

Wow!!!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Ana Delia Pardo ... thank you 🙏 so much 💙

[@terrirobinson8031]

My table is in good shape. Can I use an orbital sander?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Absolutely! Sanding is still good 👍🏻 and orbital sander is fantastic! ♥️♥️♥️

[@strebis6]

So the wax holds up well for a kitchen table that is used and cleaned often?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Weathered Memories ... so for this table project I used Annie Sloan’s lacquer varnish in matte finish just for the table top. The base I used the clear and dark wax. I recommend using a lacquer varnish for highly used kitchen table tops or anything that will be highly used. Lacquer will seal your chalk paint and protect it from more use as well as moisture. 😉🎨

[@natalieramsey4091]

So you can put a topcoat like look her over a wax??

[@denisemaples2519]

@@natalieramsey4091 I caught that as well. I thought wax was always the last step and if you used both, the wax would go ono er the lacquer.

[@rosiesaunders3334]

I’ve sanded my table with an 80 grit but it doesn’t look nearly as light as ur finished sanded table. Can u please help?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Rosie! I normally will take 80 grit to remove the paint/varnish to the wood and once you get to the bare wood you can smooth it out with 120 grit and if you want smoother you can go to 220 grit. I hope this helps! 🙏🎨❤️

[@nevilgrubb]

Love your work!!! When you showcase the table and chairs at the end of your video, the wall behind....did you do it? If so, how????? Would love to know how!!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Carrie Grubb ... thank you so much for your kind comment Carrie 🙏💙 The staging wall is just a backdrop but I want to create my own using a large canvas drop so I definitely plan to make a tutorial for those who would like a similar backdrop by make it they way they want for colours and tones etc. Thank you so much for watching 😉🎨

[@nevilgrubb]

The Reclaimed Heirloom YES I was thinking a drop cloth canvas would be amazing! I have used drop cloths in so many ways, especially when I used to do stage backdrops! Love you videos and your works is some the best I have seen!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Carrie Grubb ... awww 🥰 you are so kind and I really appreciate your kind words Carrie 🙏💗 Staging is tricky sometimes because you want to show your work but you want to create a setting for the viewers. But it’s also important to be original and have your style stand out. Having some imagination in your staging I find pretty important and it’s a personal preference. I guess I just prefer the whole set to be artist not just the furniture. Other may feel differently that the stage shouldn’t take away the main furniture project but when I am shopping and I see staging giving an entire room with details like a movie set it feels more inviting and it draws my eye and imagination to wanting it more than just sitting alone again a white wall. Again this is all just preference there is no right or wrong way. I hope this makes sense lol 😆

[@nevilgrubb]

The Reclaimed Heirloom makes perfect sense!!

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Carrie Grubb 😉💙💙

Great videos. Just needs more lights

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Zhi Zhi ... I actually contemplated on even putting his tutorial file up... my camera light actually burnt out... it wasn’t good lighting at all and even made the visual footage a bit shaky at times... but since have replaced camera and even adding studio lighting for better visual for my other tutorials 😉... thanks so much for watching 🙏

[@terrirobinson8031]

I couldn’t tell if you did anything to the apron of the table.

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Thanks I kept it a simple solid color. ❤️🎨🙏

[@terrirobinson8031]

@@TheReclaimedHeirloom thank you!

[@terrirobinson8031]

@@TheReclaimedHeirloom one more question (or maybe two). Did you sand it and leave it in the natural word or paint it (the apron). Also did you use the same sealer?

[@jaromejacksan6934]

This time I will use Woodglut plans for this.

[@doriemmlamberty3447]

No das clases?
