No more knotty pine
by
Decor&Dine
I have a lot of pine furniture from the 90's...that is all I could afford back them. Painting these pieces with Annie Sloan Chalk paint has given new life to them. I love how this pine chest of drawers looks now. When painting pine remember to shellac the knots so that they do not bleed through the paint.
Before
After: Annie Sloan old white chalk paint and clear wax
Light sanding for a distressed look

Can you explain the shellac the knots in the knotty pine?

Thank you, I wasn't sure if that was before or after. I have knotty pine cabinets in my laundry room I would like to paint.

@Connie Hofstatter make sure you cover the knots well. I painted a unit for my TV last fall and I am starting to see the knots coming through. I used spray shellac instead of the liquid shellac that I used on my other furniture. I don't think the spray cover as well as the brushed on liquid.
