Dining Room Table Makeover

I used General Finishes gel stain for my table top, which is the most amazing product. There is no prep except cleaning the surface thoroughly. I love that with a light coat you still see the wood finish yet get solid coverage. It is super durable and I have used it other places in my home such as my bathroom vanity base. Luckily for you Columbus peeps, there is a General Finishes supplier off of Bethel Road!

For my table base and chairs I used Americana Decor chalk paint. While I do not particularly love this product, it isn't terrible to work with. I had to put on more coats than I desired and it did not cover deep wood stains very well. It took about 3-4 coats and there still isn't solid coverage (I'm okay with a more rustic, imperfect look). I purchased this from Home Depot, but Walmart and Joanns also carry it.
My table and chairs are finally finished and here is the big reveal! I could not be more happy with how they turned out. It has been quite the process and wouldn't have taken me so long if I weren't so busy with homework (5 months till my bachelor degree is complete, woohoo!).

Let's get started on supples:

This is the fabric choice for the reupholstry. It is a sturdy canvas like fabric and I used a coupon to get it even cheaper! It took about 6-8 yards to redo four chairs and still have excess to do a bench I am doing.

This is the nailhead trim I used. It is quite pricey, so be sure to use a 50% off coupon at Joanns. I had to purchase two rolls and I still have excess to use on two chairs I'm redoing and a bench.
This table finally looks like it belongs in my home!

Totally stalked your page to get to this post! I'm going to do this on my dining room table. Did you use a primer for the white chalk paint? If not, do you think it would help? Thanks!

I did not use a primer, however I wish I had! I have noticed some areas have had staining bleed through the chalk paint which would have been prevented if I had used a primer. Good luck!!
