IKEA Table Farmhouse Update
Are you a farmhouse fan? It sure is popular in our area here in Western Canada. One of my great customers needed an office/computer desk and reached out to me. She wanted it minimalistic with clean lines. I had the perfect idea to create one using a simple solid pine table from IKEA. I had done this for another customer who had me create 2 matching for her children.
Prep your table by cleaning it well to be sure it is totally clean.
Then paint. I chose Jolie Paint paint in palace white for this project. Two coats were brushed on using my favorite 2" angled synthetic brush
Above is one coat applied and now drying
To add depth and contrast I dry brushed Jolie's lilac grey over the palace white.
Then using a mister bottle I blended the colors well
To keep the vintage vibe the edges were distressed as well. This also allows a bit more forgiveness if bumped in the future.
Using Jolie's clear wax and amazing wax brush the entire table was sealed.
And that is the finished look, all ready to become a working desk in its new home.
The table now is the perfect office desk.
