Today i have a furniture painting tutorial for you all where I share lots of tips and tricks on how to paint furniture the right way. This video was shot a year back however I released it just now as I wanted to see how my furniture coped up with the daily wear and tear and what is the feedback over the year. I share with you all a lot of tips and tricks of chalk paints, varnish and upcycling furniture in general, these things I have learnt over the period of years of my research and a lot of trials and errors. I have been very hones with my feedback on various products and where you should and should NOT try to save money. Again please note all these are my personal opinions and are in no way a generalization of the brand products. You are free to make your own decisions and select the products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before we get in to more details, I hope you have participated in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/craftangles-monthly-challenge-nov-2020\/\" class=\"rank-math-link\">monthly challenge which is Festive Projects<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/craftangles-monthly-challenge-nov-2020\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-108173\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6aa40e6ccce4a\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #333333;color:#333333\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #333333;color:#333333\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-6aa40e6ccce4a\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/furniture-painting-with-chalk-paints\/#so-now-on-the-furniture-painting-tutorial-with-a-lot-of-dos-and-donts-%e2%80%93\" >So now on the furniture painting tutorial with a lot of DOs and DONTs &#8211;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/furniture-painting-with-chalk-paints\/#supplies-used-in-this-furniture-painting-tutorial-%e2%80%93\" >Supplies used in this furniture painting tutorial &#8211;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/furniture-painting-with-chalk-paints\/#other-diy-tutorials-%e2%80%93\" >Other DIY tutorials &#8211;<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.craftadda.com\/blog\/furniture-painting-with-chalk-paints\/#home-decor-tutorials-%e2%80%93\" >Home Decor Tutorials &#8211;<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"so-now-on-the-furniture-painting-tutorial-with-a-lot-of-dos-and-donts-%e2%80%93\"><\/span>So now on the furniture painting tutorial with a lot of DOs and DONTs &#8211;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube aligncenter wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"nv-iframe-embed\"><iframe title=\"DIY upcycle coffe table with some Chalk paints\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tqbexl3M93k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and found the tips and points I discussed on furniture painting useful and this video inspired you to try something of your own.
