OH MY GOSH CHALK PAINT FOR SURE, YES YOU NEED A FINISH SUCH AS WAX BUT THE TABLE STYLE LOOKS LIKE IT IS BEGGING FOR SOME FARMHOUSE CHARM. USE A RECIPE TO GET YOUR FAVORITE COLOUR, ANNIE SLOAN IS AWESOME BUT TRUST ME, VERY PRICEY.
Make sure not to use polyurethane over white paint of any kind. It will yellow your project, instead use a polycrylic or a different sealer.
ia m learning and also doing a table so this is so helpful. I've only used Annie Sloan but yes, pricy, i would like to try and make my chalk paint
I turned a discarded table and chairs into a game table. Painted the table top with chalkboard paint. Chairs and legs are just spray painted.
Chalk paint is what I would use. Look at the company Heritage Traditions (heritagetraditionspaint.com) and check out their paints, their projects, etc. When you're painting furniture that you'll be using on a daily basis, don't skimp on the paint and the quality. You'll only end up re-doing it after a while.
They have a variety of colors to choose from and they are good, quality paints.
I would use a good kitchen and bath paint, it wears really well, and you can add 1/2c or plaster of paris, or baking soda if you want the dull look. I myself like a satin finish as its easy to clean.
As long as the proper prep work is done, you can use either.
I would go with a latex enamel pint to get durability on the table.
