How To Paint Furniture

Hey ya'll! So, earlier nosotros left for Christmas break a few weeks ago, I started making about changes to our master copy bedroom. 

This volition live the 11th gear upwardly of changes to this room, 10 of which were fully documented inwards this unexpectedly popular post.
Also known equally 'that 1 fourth dimension I had Jesse photoshop my human face upwardly on a turtle's trunk too hundreds of thousands of people saw it.' 

I learned several useful lessons from that post. One, it's okay to percentage your failures. We're all human here. Two, I'm non the alone somebody who has to decorate a room 45 times earlier it looks fifty-fifty remotely okay. And three, I brand a masculine turtle. 

You can't handle the truth.

Anyways, I lead hold a few to a greater extent than things to complete upwardly earlier I percentage the chamber inwards its entirety, thus today I stance I would percentage only 1 footling tidbit to kicking off the novel year. 

Do y'all scream upwardly Vern?

Probably not.

So, I'll re-introduce y'all today. 

If you're confused, delight refer to this. However, y'all should allow yourself a prolonged Hammer Dance if y'all know who Vern is without looking. 

Make certain to stretch beforehand.

Without farther ado, here's Vern today, looking rather dignified inwards his striped suit.

In other words, I painted a dresser white alongside a greyness stripe.

I kept the hardware the same, but spray painted them dorsum to gold. 

Their memoir volition live out inwards the Spring. 

"From Gold to Silver to Gold Again: Someone delight arrive stop."

I likewise added some fun novel accessories. 

I constitute an awesome mirror for $10 at the thrift store. It was originally a black gilded color, but I updated it past times coating the entire frame with this metallic paint and thus I highlighted a few areas with this shade of Rub n Buff (affiliate links).

The footling silvery canister was about other thrift store honor that I've had for awhile, formerly seen here equally a Q-tip holder.

The furry blob is about cloth that constitute temporary security equally Vern's scarf. Because it's virtually to live made into a pillow.

I likewise bought my origin delineate of piece of occupation solid works life ever, which I seat inwards a pretty bowl. And although I watered him actually good earlier nosotros left for Christmas vacation, he did non fare well. I'm currently trying to resuscitate him past times the kitchen sink, but the prognosis isn't good.

It in all likelihood doesn't assistance matters that Cheese keeps trying to sit down on it when she looks out the window.

I shouldn't live allowed to ain plants, but it was fun spell it lasted. Luckily, I had the foresight to accept these pictures earlier nosotros left. So, let's accept a infinitesimal to appreciate my origin too final plant. He was beautiful.

So, here's a quick tutorial if you're wanting to bring together the striped dresser club. 

We lead hold monthly meetings at Red Lobster.

All the Cheddar Bay Biscuits y'all tin eat.

 Dress code is jorts too turtlenecks. No exceptions.

I'm waiving the enrollment fee for a express fourth dimension only.

Ok, thus origin step.

Paint your dresser any y'all desire the base of operations color to be, using the steps mentioned inwards final month's tutorial.

I painted mine during my New Girl marathon, using dollar store shower curtains equally a dropcloth. It is what it is.

I allow my base of operations coat dry out overnight too the side past times side hateful solar daytime I applied record to create my stripe.

Then, I painted over the record alongside the base of operations color. This is a footling fob I lately learned that prevents your pigment from haemorrhage underneath the tape. Basically, it makes your stripe perfect.

It's awesome.

Then, I painted the stripe alongside my accent color. I wishing I could say y'all the pigment colors, but I used samples too threw away the empty containers earlier I remembered to write downwards the names. So, we're going alongside white too gray. 

Then, earlier the pigment dries, pare off the tape. You should lead hold a perfect stripe at this point. Then only allow it all dry out too seat the dresser dorsum together.

And that's all at that spot is to it!

And that's all for today, ya'll!

I'll live dorsum shortly to percentage the residuum of the bedroom, my thrift store findings over vacation, too celebrate my ii yr weblog anniversary. I lead hold no stance inwards what order, but hopefully all of those things volition hand off at about point. I'm currently nevertheless inwards the throes of ham euphoria. Plus, it's snowing hither (which never happens) too Downton Abbey is back.
