WOW! 2 posts in one day... thank goodness for nice weather, a garage full of toys and neighbor kids to KEEP my kiddos occupied while I work :). This "not so pretty" headboard and nightstand were just several pieces I received for FREE from a friend's mother. She was going to haul them off to D.I. but called me instead. Thank you!

I sanded, cleaned and prepped it.
I applied several coats of Walmart (yes, I said Walmart!) Antique White in a satin finish.
I sanded and distressed it.
Then, it received 3 coats of polycrylic (I use this on lighter colored furniture so it doesn't "yellow" the finish) for added protection.
Finally, I added new hardware from Hobby Lobby to update it a bit!

Hi! Found you thru StephieLynn's party. I'm always on the lookout for great painting projects.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind if I shared some of yours -including this one - with my readers?
I love natural wood but the white paint really makes these stand out. I am considering doing this and your pictures are further convincing me. These really came out well!
ReplyDeleteMore fabulous transformations. I love the white! You have the perfect touch for finishing...Thanks for joining the Sunday Showcase! I greatly appreciate it! ~ Stephanie Lynn
