I agree – teal is a very bright, uplifting color! 🙂

I would be willing to sell it, but I have no idea how to ship something solid wood like that. Do you live in central Minnesota?

It is beautiful!

Hey Lynda! I have a video tutorial that I did on my Facebook page I think will answer your question: https://www.facebook.com/welcome2thewoods/videos/vl.190075361732888/2010002825907257
I filled in the cracks afterward and wiped away the excess. You could use black acrylic based paint, gel stain, dark wax, or a variety of other things to achieve this look. Good luck with your project!

I am wondering how you kept the blackened crevices from being painted “green,” too. I am new to this but I want to use your idea.

I am new to this, but I want to do something very similar to your table.

Thanks Rose! Yes, I did sand it down thoroughly before painting and put on a coat of my favorite primer. I would highly recommend doing more prep work so your paint job can last on a piece of furniture that gets a LOT of use. I think my coffee table gets more beat up than my kitchen table!
The paint I used I actually mixed myself – you can read a tutorial for how to that here: https://www.welcome-to-the-woods.com/how-to-mix-a-custom-paint-color/
This is because the paint was found free at my local HHW facility. The paint I used was latex based, semi-gloss and claimed to have high durability. It has held up really well over the years and I recently even painted my front door with the same paint. (https://www.welcome-to-the-woods.com/front-door-refresh-paint-turquoise/)

Thanks for stopping by and asking your great questions!

I love the way your coffee table came out! I actually have a coffee table I bought off of the Facebook garage sale groups I’m getting ready to paint and am trying to decide on color(s) and paint type(s). What kind of paint did you use on this coffee table, if you don’t mind me asking? Also, did you sand down the coffee table at all before you painted it?
