Easy DIY farmhouse dining table made from a wooden picnic table!
Transform a simple wooden picnic table into a charming farmhouse dining table!
Supplies:
Instructions:
- Tighten up all bolts on the table and benches if needed. I also added a few screws for good measure.
- If repainting , sand all desired areas to remove any chippy paint or rough areas.
- Flip the table and 1 bench upside down, then paint in Fusion's Casement.
- Flip the bench right side up, and paint the top.
- Position some reclaimed wood boards on top of the table to your desired size, then sand them before installing.
- Install the boards to the top of the table by drilling in screws.
- With a high grit sandpaper, sand the tops of the boards.
- Apply Fusion's Furniture Wax to the top boards and the top of the bench. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, then buff the excess off until the boards feel silky smooth and dry to the touch.
- Arrange random farmhouse chairs around the table for a gathered-over-time look! I also added a chair on each table end.
- Position one bench along the front, so you have a complete farmhouse table look! Enjoy for a fraction of the cost of the real deal!
