A few weeks ago, Chase and I went up to my Granny and Granddaddy's old house up in Gadsden to get some of the furniture that was still in there and needed a new home. We brought home this great kitchen table and chairs with the intention of refinishing it for our new big kitchen.
Above are pictures of the furniture once we had it home, sanded down and the seats removed.
We used Krylon spray paint and I also used Kilz Spray Primer.
I don't think I will ever use spray primer again because it was VERY gritty and required A LOT of sanding to get it smoothed down again. That is the reason we decided to go with the distressed look on the table. It was going to be too hard and take WAY more spray paint than I had planned for to make it solid white.
Here is the finished table and chairs up in the kitchen just in time for my Mom's 65th birthday party Friday night. (We had a GREAT time!) We love the way the table and chairs turned out. There are actually 6 chairs but one of them didn't get completed before the party. I recovered the seats with fabric that I bought from JoAnn's.
For my first furniture refinishing project I would say this went pretty well. I couldn't have finished it in time for the party without the help of my Dad and Chase. Thanks Guys!!
