We found this wooden end table at a local thrift store and it looked like a great candidate for a painted furniture makeover. The style of the cabinet almost resembled shiplap and we knew it could transform the style into a rustic farmhouse end table with a new refinished paint job.

 

This end table was turning into a farmhouse rustic style

We decided to try out a type of paint finish that resembles a Restoration Hardware finish. Here are the supplies we used for this project

3M Final Stripping Pads

60 Grit Sandpaper

Paintbrush

General Finishes Paint in Driftwood

Valspar Limewash Glaze

Valspar Antiquing Glaze

Floetrol

Foam Brush

Minwax Polycrylic in Matte

Nickel Bin Pulls

 

To start out we lightly sanded the wood down with 60 Grit Sandpaper. Then went over it to smooth it out with 3M Final Stripping Pads. We love to use these to smooth out the finish. Then we wiped the piece clean with a rag.

Next we painted two coats of paint on the whole piece using General Finishes in Driftwood using an angled brush.

Once that had dried we used Valspar Limewash Glaze mixed 2:1 with Floetrol. The Floetrol helps to extend the drying time of the paint. Using a brush we brushed on a light layer of the glaze. Then went back and smoothed out the glaze until we liked the way it looked.

After that layer dried we took Valspar Antiquing Glaze and mixed 1:5 with Floetrol. Using the same technique as the other glaze we lightly brushed on the glaze then smoothed it out with the brush.

After everything had dried we went over the piece using a foam brush with two coats of Minwax Polycrylic in matte to protect it.

Once the piece had dried we replaced the old ugly knobs with some really cute nickel bin pulls. This really was the step that gave the end table a rustic farmhouse look.
