Distressing a Farmhouse Table & Getting the "Chippy Look" with Milk Paint

In this video, I show the distressing process on the farmhouse table I've been working on and share tips and tricks on getting the "chippy look" or avoiding it.

Thank you for the explanation it was very detailed. Some close up views of table before and after would be helpful to see your techniques.

I just love this table! I could see this in my small/medium size ranch farmhouse kitchen. Great tutorial.

Thank you so much for such a detailed tutorial! I learned so much!

Thanks for your video. You make it look so easy! Once you have achieved the chipped or distressed look you want... could you use a clear polyurethane satin finish to lock it in?

[@missmustardseed]

Yes, definitely!

I love it! Green is my favorite

What grit sandpaper do you recommend to knock off the shine before you paint? I don't own a sander.

If you don’t want chipping and you do use the tough coat first do you still need to use bonding agent?

I often use a light layer of Vaseline in areas that I want to chip on old, porous, dry wood pieces.

I want to paint my radio cabniet white and leave the top like that .
