Do you have old bedroom furniture that you are ready to redo? Check out my recent make over and let me know what you think!
Steps to paint, stain & decorate furniture:
Step 1: Sand everything down really well, the better you sand the better the paint stays. After, use a damp towel and wipe the furniture down to remove any excess dust.
Step 2: With the paint of your choice (I like the paint and primer in one), paint the everything BUT the top of the furniture. Usually you will need to do 2 or 3 coats, but that all depends on what look you are going for.
Step 3: With an old t-shirt, gently apply the stain to the top piece. We found that a t-shirt or even a small rolling brush works great. Again, apply 2 or 3 coats, allowing each coat to completely dry in between applications.
Step 4: Now for the fun part! When everything is dry, decorate the drawers with your own style! With this piece I decided to use burlap and tacks. We laid the burlap over each drawer and free hand cut each piece to make it unique! We then nailed the bronze tacks to hold the burlap in place. **When nailing the tacks, always use a piece of cloth in between the nail and tack so that you do not dent or destroy the tack.
Step 5: Add your own touch to the top of your NEW dresser and make it your own!
