Furniture Before and Afters

So many furniture pieces.

So little time to post about them : )

Paintbrush is priority most days.



Pin It!


This is such a sweet shape -

a small chest of drawers

that looked like this before:




The top was rough.

After stripper and stain,

I applied polyurethane with

folded foam.

(using a smidge of paint thinner to extend)




A palette of blue, gray, and raw sienna

combined to make a nice layered look

on the drawer fronts.

Drag the paint with folded cardstock.







Pin It!

Here are some more before and afters:



These will be display pieces 

for a flower shop.





How about this for

"work from home" style.



Pin It!
Paint and fabric on vinyl:






Pin It!

The great thing about painted furniture blogs

is the exchange of ideas.

There's hope for almost every piece of old furniture!

Happy painting,

Deb

    These pieces turned out amazing! Do you let the paint dry between layers or do you drag the cardstock over wet layers with the next color to blend them? Not sure that question came out right..?? I love how you use paint! Super talented :0)

    Love the Duncan Phyfe chest! And a neat tip about the cardstock. I haven't tried that yet, but will have to!

    Hi Melanie!
    I didn't even know what type of chest of drawers it was. So glad you wrote! I love learning those things.
