Not necessarily so. I have good news. Using chalk paint, the first two steps can be avoided. The furniture would just need to be cleaned of dust, grime, finger oils, etc.
I found a perfect dining table at a secondhand store when I moved here. It had a warm wood top with dark almond/yellowish-colored legs and skirting. I did a simple cleaning of it and then applied two coats of white chalk paint with a brush. When sufficiently dry, I then applied a clear finishing wax as described on the chalk paint container. It protects the paint and provided a slight luster.
It really could not have been easier and I'm pleased with the results. Install keywords:
