How To Create a Pottery Barn Dupe Table for a Fraction of the Cost with Chalk Style Furniture Paint | countrychicpaint.com/tutorials
Do you love the Pottery Barn furniture look but not the price tag? We'll show you how to recreate that beloved rustic wood finish for a fraction of the cost!
Creating a Pottery Barn-inspired finish using Country Chic Paint can elevate your furniture and decor to a new level of style and sophistication. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps to achieving a Pottery Barn finish!
Step 1: Find Your Project Piece
This can be done on just about any furniture, but if you don’t already have a piece of furniture in mind for this technique, keep an eye out at your thrift stores as well as local buy and sell sites. To really mimic the pottery barn style most accurately, pay attention to the details and shapes that you love in your Pottery Barn catalogue and watch for second hand furniture with similar features. For example, we loved this table because of its four curved legs and ribbed centerpiece that matched our Pottery Barn inspiration table so well!
Step 2: Prepare Your Surface
Ensure your furniture piece is clean and free from any dirt, grease, or previous finishes. Lightly sand the surface if needed for better paint adhesion.
Step 3: Apply Paint
Shake and stir your jar of Country Chic Paint (we used Road Trip) thoroughly to ensure an even consistency. Use a synthetic-bristle brush to apply the paint in smooth, even strokes, following the grain of the wood. Allow the first coat to dry completely (1-2 hours) before proceeding to the next step. Apply a second coat of Road Trip if needed for full coverage. Let each coat dry thoroughly between applications.
Step 4: Apply Furniture Glaze
After your final paint coat has dried for at least 12 hours you can begin applying Furniture Glaze (we used the color Smoky Quartz) using a separate brush. A coarse bristle brush or broom works best for creating texture. Working in small sections, apply the glaze and then drag your course brush through it to create a textured, faux wood grain look.
Step 5: Apply White Wax
After allowing the Furniture Glaze to dry for at least 24 hours it’s time to apply the Country Chic Paint White Wax. Using a Wax Brush, apply a thin layer of White Wax over the entire piece. Work the wax into all crevices and details. Use a lint-free cloth to buff the wax until dry. You can always add a second coat of wax and achieve your desired level of white-washed effect. Not only will the white wax add dimension and highlight the details of your piece, but it also protects your paint and glaze from wear and tear!
