Do you have old stained furniture that you don't love the color of? Maybe you just want a different tone to the wood stain but don't want to go to the trouble of doing a complete sanding/refinishing job? I know I do at times! I've done both but this is by far, much easier.

A really easy way to update old furniture...with these 2 products. The top before (my previous refinish job...done the "old fashioned" way 17 years prior)
Before - I have had the table for about 17 yrs, refinished already once by me. Recently painted and used PolyShades on the top to darken to a Walnut color.
A very light sanding (by hand) is all that's needed to use this product! Makes it so easy to keep the wood stain but darken or refreshen it. I painted the base with Chalk Paint.
Enjoyed the project?

Lindamae on May 29, 2014Nice ,I've never used chalk paint ,what's the difference from satin or semi gloss ? Is chalk just flat looking ?

Nancy @ ArtsyChicksRule on May 30, 2014@Lindamae Yes, it has a chalky finish before sealing. Also, it is a paint that typically requires no prep (sanding, priming etc) I've used it almost extensively in the last few years...you can read more about it on my blog. (linked above) :)
