This table has seen better days β weβve already made over this plastic table once before usingΒ LichenΒ β but we wanted a fresh new simple tablescape makeover for our family Thanksgiving dinner. Follow along to see how an outdoor plastic table makeover can be done forΒ under $50!
Supplies needed.
- TSP alternative
- Staalmeester Round Brush
- Lamp WhiteΒ Fusion Mineral Paint
- Fresh flowers optional
Painting a plastic table.
The first step of any project should be cleaning and we used FusionsΒ TSP AlternativeΒ for this table. Just a couple capfuls into some warm water and we washed the table down. FusionsΒ TSPΒ is bio-degradable and has a no-rinse formula. So as soon as it is dry, it is ready to paint.
Meagan used theΒ Staalmeester round brush. This brush holds an incredible amount of paint making your painting job quick and easy as well as minimizing brush strokes. We have a post all about avoiding brushstrokes hereΒ
Tips for minimizing brush strokes β less paint on your brush β and 2 thinner coats versus 1.
Making life pretty
Our Family was celebrating Thanksgiving together and our Mom Loree was cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Meagan and I thought we should make over our dingy plastic outdoor table and make it look pretty for the occasion. We did a Facebook Live showing you how quick and super easy it was to do.
All in the details
With just 2 thin coats of FusionΒ Lamp White, the table was ready to set. We gathered some leaves from the garden and a few pumpkins. We grabbed aΒ couple of candles from the house and added a pretty fresh flower bouquet as the centrepiece.
Our family Thanksgiving dinner was enjoyed in our garden on our newly made-over plastic table. What do you think of this project? Leave us a comment we just love hearing from you all.
