How to Paint Golden Oak Furniture

July 4, 2018 by Tracey Bellion Filed Under: DIY Projects, Tables, Tips & Tricks 2 Comments

How happy is this little set up???

As most of you know…that is my office…and those are MY breakfast room chairs.  I used them to stage this table that I painted for a local client.

But….DANG!  When I look at this picture it really makes me wish this was MY breakfast room!

I could sit and drink coffee with friends and family for hours in this space!

 Furniture Painting Basics

  1. Sand the top down just a bit, depending on the finish. The surface you’re painting on is only as good as the surface you start with. It was a bit chippy so I leveled it out by sanding.
  2. Wipe it down very well with 50/50 Warm Water + Vinegar. Let it dry.
  3. I spritz my chalk-type paint brush with just a little of water to get it wet. I also spritz water directly on the furniture.
  4. i then dip my brush in the paint and run it across.
  5. This is only my first coat.

    I am longing to know if that gorgeous floral backdrop is a mural or wallpaper. I really admire both your beautiful work and the business you’ve built around your amazing talent.
