Hi- stumbled onto your website-beautiful. Could you give a recommendation of paint color? I want to paint my dark wood kitchen chairs black but I don’t want them solid or too black. Planning to distress to allow the wood to show through. Any suggestions for a shade of black? Thanks-

Comment on How To Paint French Provincial Furniture A Perfect White by Admin

You mentioned that you have a solid wood dresser that you are hoping to white wash.

Basically you want the wood to have some grip to it. Meaning you want to sand the wood enough where the paint has something to latch on to.

You can buy a pickling white wash, which you apply over the wood. You really cannot mess this finish up.

You can also go to home depot and buy stain which come in 20 or so colors.

In this post I reccomend Behr’s deck stain which I have used myself.

You can get whiter stain colors, as they have a wide range of colors.

I used this product on a dresser that I wanted to look very distressed and it turned out spectacular.

Hoping this helps

YOUR INFORMATION ON PAINTING FURNITURE IS GREAT AND I SO APPRECIATE IT. I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS ABOUT WHITE WASHING. CAN YOU GO OVER THE STEPS AGAIN MORE THOROUGHLY AM NOT CLEAR ON THE PAINT PART. I THINK I START WITH SANDING (MY DRESSER IS THE USUAL BROWN). DO I SAND ALL THE STAIN OFF? AND, HOW DO I GET IN THE SMALL CLOSE AREA’S? THE FIRST COAT OF PAINT YOU SPOKE ABOUT, WHAT COLOR TONE DO I GO WITH AND WHAT TYPE. DO I USE A OIL BASE PAINT AT THIS POINT? WHEN I BEGIN TO COVER WITH THE WHITE TOP COAT IS IT A FLAT PAINT? PLEASE HELP ME. I JUST DON’T WANT TO MESS THIS UP (I’M A BEGINNER). THANKING YOU IN ADVANCE.

Most of the vintage French Provincial dressers were produced in the 1950′s, 60′s and 70′s. You can buy lead paint kits on amazon. A good primer such as Cover stain in oil will allow you to paint over these dressers with ease. In additon, you could also strip the paint to expose the natural wood underneath of the paint.

Hi! Can you possibly tell me around what year these types of pieces where reproduced? Specifically the top two cream and gold dressers. I’m trying to figure out if they contain lead paint before I attempt a redo thanks!

I have 2 3 drawer bachelors chests for sale. Drexel Touraine . Made in 1942. The earliest date I have seen anywhere. I think it was the first year they made them. Descriptions also say carved demi lune whatever that means.

Satin or eggshell paint really looks nice. It isn’t flat or matte, but has a bit of a sheen to it.

Yes, there are some tables made from wrought iron. Marble wood provincial tables are also quite popular. We don’t sell furniture on this blog, we just promote the style.
