What You Will Need

Before, gather for the process:

· Sandpaper (to remove old paint)

· Paint (chalk or wood or acrylic paint)

· Brush or roller for paint

· Primer (only with a light paint)

· Sealant (to protect paint)

· Damp cloth (for dust cleaning)

It is always good to work in an open corner with old newspapers or a rag to cover the floor to absorb the paint spills.

Step 1: Sanding Down the Legs

· Gritty, moderate sandpaper is first; use it to remove paint and make rough spots.

· Then, go over with fine sandpaper for a nice, smooth finish.

· Finally, wipe off excess dust before you start painting.

Plus, with good sanding, the surface remains mud-free and lasts longer!

Step 2: Paint Selection

The right paint selection really does matter in this!

· Chalky: For that soft vintage look.

· Acrylic: Fast-drying and easy to apply.

· Wood paint: Tough and long-lasting.

For a modern style, go for black, grey, or white. For a fun look, try bright colours like blue or green.

Step 3: Painting the Legs

Now it’s time to paint your furniture with legs!

· Start with a thin coat of primer (if needed). Let it dry.

· Apply the first coat of paint in smooth strokes.

· Let it dry completely before adding a second coat.

· For a super smooth look, lightly sand between coats.

Take your time—rushing can make it messy.

Step 4: Protecting the Paint

To make sure your table legs stay looking fresh:

· Apply a sealant to stop paint from chipping.

· Let the paint dry for 24 hours before using the table.

· Clean spills quickly to avoid stains.

· Since furniture with legs gets a lot of use, this step is important!
