I am loving this sweet little nightstand I found Saturday...at the last yard sale I hit in town!
She is just so cute...wasn't always this cute!
Just your plain ol' brown...with the cutest little curves and original hardware!
I had to take her home...
and paint her with one of my new favorite paints!!
This is a Martha Stewart color called "Bougainvillea."
I LOVE it!
I like the results from mixing up my own chalk paint...you can find the recipe HERE.
A little light distressing...
and REALLY COOL vintage shelf paper to line the drawers!
A PERFECT match!
This sweet little nightstand is headed on the road with me to my upcoming shows!!
I hope you have a fabulous week...it's a busy one here getting ready for our Fancy Flea Market!
Love & Junk~
Julie

ok I have furniture that looks like that. Do you need to put a primer on first?
ReplyDeleteHi LuAnn...you can use a primer...or you can just clean it well and use the chalk paint recipe I use (link in the post.)
DeleteOne advantage of using chalk paint is that it will adhere to most all surfaces...and this shiny wood works perfectly if cleaned with vinegar or TSP before painting.
Let me know if you have any questions!

What a stunning transformation! I love the color, even the inside is pretty! If you get a chance, please share this on my linky party: http://suburbsmama.blogspot.com/2013/04/sunday-linky-party-2.html

love the color!!! did you use a dark wax or stain with the distressing? ive mastered clear wax but am trying to determine best way to get darkened areas in disressing without making the piece look dirty if you know what i mean. really enjoy your blog !!!
ReplyDeleteNeither a dark wax or stain...I went over this with Minwax Polycrylic (my favorite!)
DeleteI just cleaned it, painted with my chalk paint (recipe in post) distressed it and then wiped it downa gain and cleared it by brushing on the clear coat.
Thanks for stopping by!
