Distressed Painted Furniture Ideas for a Coastal Beach Look
Get the beach and coastal rustic look with distressed painted furniture. Pieces that look weathered as though they were beaten down by ocean winds and salt spray.
Distressed Paint example from Coastal Living. To achieve this rustic look, layer a variety of shades to provide depth. For a varied effect, distress the piece with different grades of sand paper. You might also want to beat up your furniture. Well, hammering it softly that is. In any case, make sure that the natural wood shows through here and there.

Another distressed painted furniture idea from Coastal Living. A heart-pine dining table was painted white, then sanded. The result is casual elegance. The mismatched set of chairs complete the beach chic look.
