We had this exact tablet, we were told by the firniture store it waa sold oak, but after refinishing the top 3 times, it was a really good laminate with wood underneath.
Were you sanding the table in a prom dress? Lol thanks for the video, your table turned out awesome. I'm going to be sanding the base of my pedestal table as well as the top so I'm sure I'll be suffering for hours...I just hope it's worth it and mine comes out as nice as yours!
Looks great! Question - when staining, how thick of a coat did you apply and did you apply the coat to the entire table or did you work in sections? Once the coat was on, how long did you wait before wiping the stain?
Help! I followed your steps but my Bebr white pickling stain is blotchy on my wood. When I wiped it off it was sticky and some areas wouldn’t wipe off. Do I just use 220 grit and sand and do a few more layers?
I have the exact same table with chairs. How would you have redone the chairs if it had any. The chair backs are heavily carved and have spindles. I had played with the idea of whitewashing the top and maybe contrast the bottom in black like you did. I don’t want the chairs to become a nightmare of labor and time. What would you do?
Hi Verena, we have actually flipped a full table set on our channel here before using the same whitewashing + paint technique (different color though), if you wanted to check it out. We found that painting is the most efficient way of giving the chairs a makeover, although the seats could be refinished to match the tabletop if you'd like, since this would hold up better to general wear and tear. However, we opted to painting the seats on ours & simply including cute seat cushions to help preserve the paint job! Hope that helps :)
U didn't show much of the whitewashing. Did u re-stain the wood after sanding or did you varnish it? You put white wash paint then wiped it after staining? Didn't quite catch what you did? Also can you eat on a table that's been whitewashed? Or must you seal it with clear lacquer or varnish?
Hi Laura, as stated in the video it is not white washing paint but actually a white washing stain by Behr :) it is sealed with a water-based polyurethane top coat for durability and is of course safe for eating on!
Fortunately, no primer needed when using chalk paint of course you can use it if you want. It’s all personal choice, but you really don’t need it when using chalk paint.
I love the woodgrain on top, what a cool table.
It’s definitely a claw foot table & it turned out gorgeous, awesome job!!
simple and elegant, great job
The feet are “ Ball and Claw”. Beautiful piece!
Very beautiful.. great job 💕
I was looking for ideas for a pedestal table I just got for free ! I’m so excited to do thisss 😊

Snake heads, probably correct. Thanks for sharing the turn time, price and materials used. I like the entire production and keep the music.
Thanks so much, we appreciate the feedback :)

I had the same doubt . Did you wipe the whitewash stain off or let it remain ?
The correct term is of the “Ball and Claw” motif.

Yes claw and ball legs ish
Claw feet. Like the old cast tubs
Hi, what finish did you use for the top cost? Is it gloss or satin?
Genial

We have chairs like that and we cleaned them with tsp and 123 paint.You don't have to sand of you use this and we used Behr satin black spray paint.
You can use spray paint too. It’s easy (easier!) when doing chairs as none of this work is easy lol. Gorgeous outcome ❤️

All products used are also in the description. Hope that helps!
No primer ?

I thought your table legs were lion paws.
Why are you in a dress?
Please lose the music. Thanks
It looked better before you worked on it.
