Creating an antique Rustic Cabin paint finish on Coffee Table on a budget is an easy project that can be accomplished in one weekend. To start this Rustic Cabin Coffee Table project you will need a few different materials from your local home improvement store as well as some time.

Those cheap plain fake wood Coffee Tables are perfect for antiquing in to a Rustic Cabin look no matter where you live. If you have an old or outdated wood Coffee Table and just want to change the color or look this Rustic Cabin paint cabinet resurfacing process is also good.

Here is a list of supplies you will need to start resurfacing your old Rustic Cabin Coffee Table:

· Primer
· Paint: Brown and Hunter Green or Brown and Barn Red
· Roller paint brushes
· A variety of 2", 3", or 4" paint brushes
· Wood stain
· Glaze
· Sandpaper
· Drop clothes
· Cheap, outdated, or plain Coffee Table

Now, start sanding the surface of your plain Coffee Table. Once you have the surface lightly sanded, you should wipe off the dust with a clean dry clothe. An old white t-shirt will work perfectly here.

Now, you are ready to put a coat of primer. If you are using a cheap fake wood Coffee Table this is a very important step. Your resurfacing Rustic Cabin painting technique will not stick to your surface if you don't sand and then prime your Coffee Table.

If you want a rough more Rustic Cabin look try putting the primer on with one of the 4" brushes. This will give texture and create the look of real wood. If you prefer the smoother look you can roll the paint on with any type of paint roller. A foam roller will create the smoothest surface.

Allow your primer to dry completely.

Put on a coat of your base paint. Now, this paint should be a nice dark chocolate brown. You will be seeing it when the whole rustic cabin paint treatment is finished.

This paint should not be the actual color you want your Coffee Table to end up, but the color you want to show through when you rough up the Rustic Cabin Coffee Table.
