I want to paint our wooden dining room table “antique” white…?
I read another post about painting wooden cabinets, so I get the overall method….sand so the paint can adhere, prime, and paint.
My questions are: 1) do I just use a primer that you would use on your interior walls? 2) do I use interior paint or is there a special wood paint? 3) for a dining room table, should I go with gloss, semi-gloss, or something else? 4) what can I do to make it look more antique? I want it to look like an old farmhouse table.
I think it will look pretty. Here’s my inspiration:

You can use any good interior trim paint you wish. I think you are asking about “distressing” the table to make it look old and worn. There are dozens of methods to accomplish this, everything from scubble glazes to handfuls of mud and rocks. Sorry to be so vague here . . . If you have a specific look in mind, perhaps you can post (or email) a pic or link, and I will be happy to give you step by steps.
FOLLOW UP:
Just looked at the pottery barn pic, easy easy easy to mimic that. First, sand prime and paint the table using FLAT paint in the color of you choice. The using a short lengh of #4 galvanized chain fail the piece as much as you wish, the failing will deposit small amounts of zinc at the whack spots, then protect those deposits with 2 light coats of antique satin poly. Sanding as hard or a light as you wish, harder sanding will break open (expose) more wood at “wear spots” such as edges and highlights of turnings/carvings.
