You did a wonderful job, I love it painted. Beautiful color! I also love your new flatware. The weaved texture looks amazing with the cane on the backs of your chairs. Perfect!
Your table looks beautiful, but I would NOT recommend wall paint for a durable furniture finish. You really should use some sort of enamel finish or paint designed for furniture. I’m actually surprised SW would recommend Emerald to you. It’s really not great for furniture. Their Pro-Classic would have been SUCH a better option.
Hi Shannon,
Thanks so much for your input. I’ve had nothing but good luck with the Emerald but… that being said, I tell everyone what works for me and nothing else. ;) I’m not an expert and mention this over and over again. Hugs
I was just there they recommended Emerald Urethane trim Enamel for my kitchen table.
It looks wonderful! And inspires me to refresh a couple of favorite pieces of mine. Would you do a blog on how you spray paint and what brand you use because I love your front porch chairs too. Thanks
Thank you Dawn! Great idea. I love spray paint. I have a link to that spray paint under Home Sources/Garden. I love my front porch chairs so much more now.. Hugs
Hi Kristy,
Thank you so much for sharing your Beautiful home and ideals! I too though am curious if you have had trouble with water spots or hot spots from food, or do you use coasters and protectant under dishes when using table?
I never worry about those sorts of things… really. :) We wipe drips as soon as we can or afterward. The satin paint protects better than you might think. We haven’t had any issues. Besides, if something happens…I would simply paint it again. ;) The wood unpainted was wayyyy more absorbent to stains.
Thank you so much for this post! I have a couple of questions hopefully you can help me with. Did you use just the basic Emerald line (when I called Sherwin Williams to ask about it they thought I might want the Emerald Urethane line instead). Also, how long did you wait before using your table and putting decor on it? How has it held up for you so far?
I have been having a terrible time trying to refinish an antique table. It have veneer damage and needed to be painted. I attempted chalk paint with a polyurethane top coat a couple of times. The chalk paint would always look great, but then the polyurethane would go on streaky and gummy and ruin it. I finally decided to remove all of the veneer before trying to paint. This time I decided I will go with a latex paint that I don’t have to top coat and while researching what to use I came across your post. Hopefully this will finally be the thing that works for me. It’s a beautiful table and I can’t wait to finish it!
I was wondering if your table has any leaves or is it one piece? I’m worried about the connecting edges on my oval table wont fit correct if I paint them?
Thoughts?
Thanks
Hi Lorri, I had to sand the edges a ton between each coat then gave them a final sanding with a fine sand paper once finished. It was double the work but the table leafs still fit perfectly. I also made sure to not paint the grooves that connect the pieces. Hope that helps a bit.
Like your information and the look of the finished table.
I have a formal dining table and chairs they are typical cherry wood and dark any suggestions
What color are the chairs with dining table?
Love it !!!
Thanks for the tip i need to do the same with a night table!
Happy monday ?

Beautiful! How do you keep the top protected from watermarks, etc?
I painted my table white and used poly acrylic to protect. It turned yellow!

Hi Zahera,
Aw thank you so much. I am loving the new color so far! Hope you have a great weekend. xo
Hi Kristy, I just bought the Emerald paint in Big Chill but I think I made a big mistake and bought semi gloss! Ugh. Did you get a satin finish?
Hi Brie,
I use satin finish only for furniture!
Beautiful Kristy as always. Such a lovely home. Going to paint my kitchen table now I know how to do it thank you.
Rita
Good luck and remember… don’t stress… noone really cares how it looks in the end. Just you. ;) xx
