One of my favorite Weatherwood clients owns a little rehab boutique called Refind Design by Coco Claire by Jilian. She has done more projects than anyone I have heard of so far, which is awesome since she always does a lovely job.
This project was a large rectangular oak table, with pedestal base. Oak tables are extremely common, so if have one and uou're looking to get this look then follow along.
Materials
- Paint Stripper
- Scraper
- Orbital Sander
- Weatherwood Stains' "Reclamation"
- Weatherwood Stains' "White Maintenance Oil"
- Chalky Paint
Jilian began by stripping the top of the piece with paint stripper, then scrapped the finish off. Next, she gave it s quick sand with a hand held orbital sander.
Next she used white chalky paint to paint the base of the table. Chalk style paint is a great, no prep paint option.
For the table's top, she stained the oak with Reclamation. This gives you a deep charcoal gray color.
She used White Maintenance Oil to seal the table top and simultaneously lighten the look of the stained wood. This achieved a weathered and imperfect look.
You should for sure follow Jilian's FB page to see all of her amazing work. She puts out a new project or two a week and they're all stunning like this one!
