When it comes to upcycling furniture, farmhouse style is my favorite! Its rustic looking, it gives character, and it also hides any imperfections that would normally be considered flaws, really well! Here I will share with you the routine that I use for getting that really rustic, yet perfect, farmhouse style paint finish!
Achieving the perfect farmhouse paint finish can seem like it takes a lot of work… but it really can be so much fun! I never really know what I am going to end up with once I start!


Here is what this piece looked like before I started...
Step One: Choose And Use More Than Two Paint Colors


I will literally pull out all different types of paint in order to achieve that old-world rustic looking paint finish.
 
Acrylic paint. Chalked paint. Latex paint. I’ve even been known to steal a little bit of the kids paint if need be!
Step Two: Paint Random Sections With Different Colors As A Base


Well, when it comes to farmhouse style, I feel that the base layer of the project is just so darn important… It really sets the tone or tones for the whole project. (Literally!)

The final step that you want to take is to distress, distress... and distress!
