  • Apply coconut oil with dry rag.
  • Finished wood. NO stain was applied that is just from the coconut oil!
  • Before
  • The table before.
  • I left the original paint finish. But applied a coat of the coconut oil over top of the paint (since the wood shows through).

Refinishing Old Wood with Coconut Oil

To refinish old dry wood simply sand and wash with warm soapy water. Let the wood dry out (after washing it). Now using a clean dry rag apply a thin coat of coconut oil. Let it sit for 5 ...»
minutes or so, and then buff (wipe in a circular motion). Repeat if the wood is really dry.

For this piece I also applied a coat of Miss Mustard Seed Furniture Wax as added protection.

The coconut oil brought out the natural color of the wood, re-hydrated the wood, and took away that old musty barn smell. Oh yeah and it's also a great hand moisturizer. It's a win-win!

I am so happy with the results and the best part is it totally non-toxic (people eat coconut oil) so the kids helped me with this project.

  • Ordinary dining room chair I redid with creamy white paint, an upholstered seat, linen ruffle and little matching pillow.
  • small cloverleaf table I redid with Annie Sloan Chalk paint in Duck Egg blue. I traced a design on top, painted it with a small art brush, sanded it back a bit and then rubbed some dark furniture wax into the sanded areas to age it.
  • A heavy ceramic lamp that was antique gold. I gave it the look of zinc by using dark gray primer, thinned white gesso, Annie Sloan Duck Egg blue chalk paint rubbed on and then some dark wax to age it. 1
  • A starfish door decoration made from heavy, clear vinyl sewn into a starfish shape and filled with sand, shells, grass and of course, starfish. Hung with a piece of rope.
