Ever since receiving my Fat Paint in the mail a few weeks ago, the wheels have been turning. It’s not secret that I love barnwood, but it’s hard to find. When we build our furniture it is all out of new pine as we don’t have access to barnwood, so the vintage/farmhouse look is hard to achieve. I grew very tired of this sofa table. It just seemed so harsh to me. I love light colors and soft touches. As I was scrolling last night I came across Bless’er House. She turned her ugly black sofa table into barnwood – and the light bulbs went off! I knew I had to try it!
ITEMS YOU WILL NEED TO MAKE THE BARNWOOD LOOK
I used Fat Paint as I’m a huge fan of their company. Not only are they local to me ( New Westminister, Canada ) Buuuuut, it’s so affordable! Gone are the days of paying huge money for AS. If you’re a painter, you’ll know what that abbreviation stands for 😉
I threw it onto a old sheet, and put a fast coat of chalk white fat paint. Ideally I would of loved a cream, but white is what I had.
I let it dry for a hour and went and jumped in the tub. Once the hour was up and it was completely dry, I did a quick second coat. I didn’t want this paint job to look perfect as I wanted it to look like barnwood.
Here’s how the sofa table turned out. We’re kind of in love. Obviously a minimalistic furniture piece isn’t super ideal for this project, but it’s what we had. I love the new & improved sofa table.
