Thanks for watching!
Great video……your process was on wood you had hanging around…..
We have 4 kitchen chairs that are painted light yellow…..do we need to remove the yellow paint via sanding to achieve the same result as reflected in you video or can we prime t he chairs white than paint them white than follow your process for a distressed look
Excellent! Just what I needed, I’m about to distress a dresser and this seems so much easier than other videos I have seen! Thank you!
I saw a piece a women did on FBook so I asked her how she did it and she learned from your video. Wow that is amazing and what she did to a desk. No more chippy look!
I'm so glad I found this. It is definitely more the look I had in mind than the other methods I am seeing of sanding corners.
Yesss ! This is exactly what i was looking for too ! Easiest technique I’ve found !
Which technique did you use ? Did it go well ? In recently going to be doing this to my dining room table
Thank you. You make this look so easy. Will paint my table tomorrow.
Love the outcome on both
Hands down best video. Easy and natural looking
Awesome! Learned a new skill. Going to use on older kitchen cabinets. Thanks!
Thanks for the tips. I was looking for some ideas on distressing a kitchen table & your video gave me some help. 👍
Thanks. Nicely done! I'm about to refinish a garage sale piece I got for my wife, and these techniques gave me a real clue on what to do next. Cheers!

I'm converting an oak door into a headboard now. Stripped off the old paint then added one layer of flat white, flat grey, and flat white again. Going to do the "sandpaper technique". After having done all of that and seeing this video, I WISHED I would have seen this video FIRST. Brilliant work you did there, and thanks for making the video.
Thank you very much!
Thank you this was very helpful. Your tables look great !
Amazing turn out!
Thanks!
Exactly what I was looking for! Ty!
I am happy it helped you.
Thanks for sharing this topic..
I love them both very nice work I'll take one in barn red faded and distressed like that. And the table you made is just perfect for my new farm house in Alabama. Oh well maybe there's a video and learning how to make one for myself great video thank you.
Nice and straight forward. Thank you sir
Thank you for watching!
Wow I'm digging both pieces...I'm recently gotten into buying wooden furniture refinishing it ,an reselling the pieces for profit ....This video was very educational for me ,thank you sir!
You are very welcome. Glad it helped you.
I am going to do this to some tables I just picked up for 30 bucks
Thank you for the video! Have a great day!
the brown one was gorgeous
Thank you!
Looks good
I love it! Simple, easy and no very time consuming.
I’ve done both and at first I love the wax but even though I’d used Dark Brown a few months later a pink hue started showing up which was impossible to get off in the end I took the wax paint of and redid with paint and stain it still looks good a year later
Super cute and easy!
Thank you, Chanda!
Thank you very helpful!

Love this! We have some black stain...do you think that would work and look ok? Should I coat it with a poly acrylic seal? My kids are really hard on things!
You have got to be from Louisiana from your accent - beautiful console table. Keep the videos coming.
I am!
3:39 4:05 Looks like a dirty protest.🤣🤣
great work.👍
Love your video. You mention a "blue" for a coastal look. What blue did you use? Thanks!
Hello thanks you for sharing great info🤙🏻..I was wondering does the rustic look fade off if the piece is being used? Thanks
Hi! I have a cable drum Im painting and I bought some wood stain but when i tried it the wood soaked all the stain so I will use your technique and paint the whole thing first then apply wax/stain, which one do you recommend? I don’t know if its the quality of the wood or the stain but i was not able to clean much as it wa soaking it all!!
👋 nice job, can I do the same process on ikea dining set and bookshelves?
What about both techniques in the same table with the grey underneath showing as well?
Could I do this on my kitchen cabinets? I am doing the beach coastal look.
Is there an additional step to chalk paint over oil base paint that was originally cedar?
I’m looking to achieve a weathered/rustic look for an entryway table my husband is building for me, and I was thinking I’d like a blueish tone. Should I paint a blue paint instead of the white used in this video, or use a blue toned stain/wax? Thanks in advance for any advice!
I’d like to see how you worked with the coral (& was it blue or aqua?) for the seaside cottage look - I’m trying to stain my bed head & baseboard that way!? Thanks Tessa
I'd like to see this as well. I love your easy techniques. Thank you so much for sharing. New subscriber here :-)
Hi! I have been wanting to distress a white bookshelf we have. It looks more like a glossy finish but I'm not exactly sure. It's definitely a bright white color. Which technique would be better to use for something like that?
Can i use a primersimiegloss to destree my intertament to hidd it barkbrown look to a lite gray
Loved this video...I have brown dark stained wooden counter stools that I want to antique white with a dark accent. Can I use white chalk paint or a white paint stain to wipe over the chocolate brown paint on the stools after I rough them up with sand paper?
❣️
What should I do if the 2 patio chairs are painted emerald green? I want ivory or bone color distressed look.
Can this method be done using two latex color?
Hey! Do you think this would work on a painted deer skull? I’m painting one and I’d rather it look a little distressed and weathered
About to take this project on! Do I need to sand the furniture first? I am trying to do this to my dining table. It’s a dark wooden color and black. Struggling to figure out how to start before painting it. Sand and then paint with white semigloss?
Thank you for this extremely helpful DIY video! Would I garner the same results with an eggshell base coat (with stain over top)?
I think you will be okay as long as it's semi-gloss on the base coat
Hello, I have been watching your videos and have tried to create a look similar to this today. I let my paint dry and applied stain and wiped it off with a cloth but the stain is sticky/tacky it should be dry by now.. When I use the polyurethane will that fix it? Thank you!
is it possible to accomplish this on plastic furniture?
Its funny that none of the major furniture stores carry distessed dinning room tables. I am wanting to do my house coastal or peacock and am leaning towards peacock theme because I cant find a table like this! I have a gorgeous cherrywood table and buffet that I thought of doing this to but had no idea it was so easy! I think I may give it a go. I am wanting an aqua or teal type finish do they carry stains or wax in those colors or would you recommend I keep the cherry finsh and paint the aqua on top of that and then rub it off? Or would that be to dark? I saw someone else do something similar to this but she painted white then rubbed and sanded it off particularly on the edges, took most complety off and it looked really cool as well, she also added a clear coat on top. Would sanding and adding some type of clear coat keep it from chipping off? I have always had the paint chip off on anything I have tried many years ago! I realize you are working with bare wood so that probably be quite different then something that is a smooth cherry wood finish.
I love this!! I'm assuming this wouldn't really work on laminate, would it? Do you have any suggestions on how to get a similar effect on this material?
You can definitely paint laminate so this would work fine.
👍👍WHAT!!! “Oh I just made these FABULOUS tables From Some OLD SCRAP WOOD I HAD LAYING AROUND!!!!”Lol & I’m sure that took you just a couple hours to make them…I’m Jealous!!! 😊I have made a few small pieces myself..My favorite was A TUFTED DENIM BENCH.. that took me over four days to make ..the legs were the hardest they weren’t the typical solid legs! I hope I get good enough to whip something like those tables up!!! Great job! I absolutely love those tables!
Scrap wood projects are so fun and rewarding. I bet you are much better than you give yourself credit for.
Thank you for the comment and for watching. Be sure to visit my blog (link in description) for free downloadable plans and much more...
Pahjo Designs … Oh you’re very welcome… And I will go check out your blog! Thanks
PS I happened to be browsing online… And I happen to see those very same end tables that you made selling for $160 a piece… Not even sure if they were real wood.. Women go crazy For cute pieces like that! Lol
I had a bench that had two coats of stain blocking and primer white paint, I tried applying the first technique with the stain but it never socked in no matter how long I waited. Is the only solution to sand the white paint off and start again with a light coat of semi-gloss (no primer?) white paint?
What stain do u use is it a special stain
Thank you so much for this easy technique. Do I need to sand the old colour off prior to applying the white paint?
I had the same question
I have a large shiny black picture frame I would like to distress. Should I do anything different? Thanks in advance.
Could you paint the furniture with chalk paint and then use the creme wax?
Can I use your stain method on a already varnished bench or do i have to sand it first Thank you
Can i use either of these techniques or another technique to create distressed-looking wooden vanity that has its original paint without repainting the piece first? Or can I just distress original paint with sandpaper or steel wool? Thanks!
Am i able to use a colored stain on top of chalk paint?
I want to do this with white dining chairs.. can I use a protectant that can be brushed on? Afraid I’ll mess up my fabric
Of course, it just may take longer. :)
What kind of wood stain and color did you use
That was a great video, I’m looking for a way to take a black table and make it look like the table you did with the stain. Do you have Any suggestions for going lighter?
Are you looking to do a lighter color stain? If so, it works great. I did an aqua blue one time and it worked well.
Should I sand the wood first on old furniture that I want to do this too? And do the stain while white paint is still wet or does that matter?
Nicely done. How about mdf how would u go about that oak look finish
I have the same question!
@Pahjo Designs - Do you think stain or wax would be better for weathering a piece with white stain/sealant used instead of paint?
How long did you wait after putting on the grey stain before wiping it off?
I have a brown side table . If I wanted in cream color. What should I do? Just over paint it with cream? I would like to have a distress result
Where can I find some of that furniture wax at ?
Can you use this technique with laminate?
I have some chairs which are already finished, but want to refinish them to go more with the rest of the furniture. Can I just sand, then do the white and stain?
Yes, you can do that. A quicker alternative would be to use 2 coats of chalk paint then apply the dark wax. Chalk paint doesn’t require sanding
Please, did you add any tint to the clear wax, or why is it so dark?
I really LOVE that blue stain look. My project is an old rocking chair that I will be putting on my porch. Do I need to sand the original finish all the way off and will that protective coat work for outdoor as well?
Yes you do
What's a chip brush?
Thank you for sharing. I have a an old window thats white and some of the wood pieces are chipped. I'm about to paint green like sage over. Do I need to sand it down on where the chipped pieces are? Thank you
Yes, give it a light sanding to remove all the loose paint and any dirt that may be present.
@@PahjoDesigns thank you so much. Great channel and straightforward
Hi! Thanks for sharing your tips! I white chalked my kitchen table, and will distress it in another day or so. I also plan to use a dry wax to age it. My question is, since my family and I will be eating off this table, do you still recommend the spray poly? Or is there a better choice? Want to make sure we are safe! That you! Marlen
Hi Marlen, polycrylic is water based, non toxic, odorless product suitable for dining tables. It’s just not as durable as the oil based polyurethane which is toxic with strong odors. Be sure to visit my blog for more details on this project: do-daddy.com/how-to-distress-painted-wood-furniture/
Can I use paint to add text over the stain finish, will it adhere?
how long do you let the white paint dry before applying stain or wax?
Whats the difference between distressing on semi gloss or flat paint?
They came out beautifully!! I used the polycrylic on some furniture pieces that my husband and I built, but the pieces are starting to yellow after 6 months 😭
Thank you Yolanda. Are your pieces exposed to a lot of sunlight? I find shellac works well to seal painted surfaces such as the ones in my project.
@@PahjoDesigns Thank you for responding. The console table does get a fair bit of sun every day, but my daughter's bed does not. Will we need to sand them down to remove it and add another sealer?
Do you have to use oil based paint or can you use latex?
Absolutely beautiful!!! Wondering if you can do that technique on any type of “wood”. I was given a 5 shelf tiered rack. They bought it from amazon for $140 and no longer needed it. I needed to do a few repairs and adjustments on it but I’m looking to distress it for where I would like it. Any suggestions? If I can send you the link or pic I will/would.
You can use this technique on any wood. Send us an email - it’s in the description
@@PahjoDesigns can you step-by-step
I would like to distress a mahogany desk. What would u use on that? I love the chslk paint look, but i dont want to lessen the value of the desk
If it’s solid mahogany wood, I wouldn’t distress it. You could sand it and refinish with a hardwax oil.
If I’m refinishing a piece already stained a dark walnut, can I just paint over it with the semi gloss and re-stain over it with the darker wood stain?
Yes, just be sure to prime the piece using zinnser before painting. Regular paint may not adhere to the surface depending on what type of finish was used
I wonder how a vintage aqua stain would look over white paint. Should the based paint color be darker? grey maybe? Thanks for your video I’m just trying to find inspiration.
Aqua looks really good - I’ve done it before.
After I add the stain and I am happy with the look, do I need to put anything on top?
You should definitely seal it. As long as you are happy, the project is a success. ;)
once applied the semi gloss white, do i have to put the gray stain immediately as the white dries?
No, wait until paint is fully dry.
I want just a light distressed on the top of my white table. I did chalk paint. Will be too difficult to just clean the stain off? What can I do? I want the grey distressed showing in some parts but I still want to see the white
You could use gray furniture wax for chalk paint. Work in 2’ x 2’ sections by applying the wax, removing it, and repeating for the next session. I advise to not use wood stain on chalk paint as it will absorb the stain too quickly and make it impossible to remove.
Hope this helps!
