Before...
I have FINALLY finished this nightstand for my son's room... This summer break thing and 4 little kiddos (20 months - 11 years) is proving to be rather difficult... I can't get anything done!!! But at least we are having FUN because mom hasn't been working :).Besides all the fun we are having, I did managed to refinish this piece in a few minutes of my SPARE TIME following the same steps and techniques as the fireplace. I also sought some inspiration from here too.
I continued to use the Linen Milk Paint from Old Village paints as the base coat but I switched to Valley Forge Mustard from Old Village paints as the top coat. This piece also has a lot more distressing as I wanted a very "chippy" look to it. I am very please with how it turned out. Now I just need to finish his bed!
LOVE it!!!

I wish I had the patience to actually distress something more than a little sandpaper on the edges...

This is a great faux finish! Many times, distressed pieces looked too forced or intenional...but THIS is how to distress beautifully! Thanks for showing it to us on Modern Craftswoman Monday! Rory
ReplyDeleteMe Likey the weathered, chippy look! Beautiful!
