Chalk Painted Dining Table Set

Hey everyone! I’m so excited to share this recent project with you! My aunt has this beautiful dining table set from 1994, but wanted to give it an update. Using chalk paint from Spruce Collectives, I repainted the chairs and table and waxed them for protection, the results are stunning! The black paint used on the chairs is called “cast iron” and the off-white paint for the table is called “goose down.” These paints are amazing quality and one can goes a long way! 
As you can see, this table set already had a great look to it! The chairs were awesome because they didn’t have a million rungs to have to paint! 



 


The chairs always take the longest to paint! Fortunately, waxing them afterwards using a cheesecloth and Mix Wax’s paste finishing wax was easy to do! 



It was very important to pull the table top apart so that I could get to every angle on the leaf. 

 Wow! After all was painted and waxed, this dining set looks amazing! This update gives it a really fresh look that will last it for years! 

















If you look closely in the above photo, you can see my aunt’s adorable dogs, Molly and Oliver checking out the action from the sofa! 😂 This was such a fun project!
