DIY Bedside furnishings makeover utilizing Magnolia House Chalk paint.

Desk BEFORE
In the event you don’t keep in mind the submit, right here is the thrift retailer nightstand I purchased. It had a thick, uneven layer of poly that was peeling on the again and prime.
I like this desk as a visitor room nightstand as a result of it has an open decrease shelf for friends to place issues they want, tablets, chargers, books, and so forth. which permits me to make the highest fairly with a lamp and flowers. It additionally permits friends to see all the things and never overlook their stuff once they depart.
When at Goal final week, I noticed Magnolia House Chalk Type Paint and wax on an finish cap shelf. The paint has been in the marketplace for a few 12 months now, however new at Goal.
In fact I used to be intrigued and took a glance. After studying the labels, I made a decision to purchase a quart together with a can of clear wax even with the excessive price ticket to place it to the check to see the way it in contrast with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and the DIY variations of chalk paint that I’ve used and posted about.
I wished the desk to coordinate with the white accents within the room and the APACHE ceiling fan from Hunter Followers.
I used the paint coloration, Shiplap. It’s Joanna Gaines line of paint in spite of everything 🙂 and distressed the end quite a bit to reveal the brown wooden beneath.
On the finish of the tutorial you will notice why I took a lot of the photographs of the nightstand on my entrance porch and never within the visitor room.
It was a simple makeover… right here is how I did it.
Portray Furnishings with Magnolia House Chalk Type Paint
provides wanted:
- Magnolia House Chalk Paint within the coloration – Shiplap
- Magnolia House Clear Wax
- Paint brush
- 100 grit sandpaper
- Store towels, rag, of lint-free mushy t-shirt
1. Sand floor of wooden with 100 grit sandpaper to tough it up slightly. It will present some tooth for the paint to stick. You do not want to sand to the naked wooden.

3. Apply one mild coat of the chalk type paint and let dry. Add one other coat and let dry.
4. If you wish to misery your piece, use 100 grit sandpaper on a sanding block to take away among the paint on the sides of the desk and the place, put on would naturally happen. For example, across the drawer knobs and pulls.
5. Clear off sanding grit after which apply a lightweight coat of the clear wax all around the floor. Let dry for about quarter-hour after which buff the floor with a mushy, lint-free fabric. I like utilizing Store Towels to do that.
Once I first started to use the wax, I wasn’t positive I appreciated it for the reason that label says to let it dry first, then buff to a mushy shine. As soon as I buffed it although, I just like the wax quite a bit, plus it had no odor what-so-ever.
Right here is the desk after one mild coat of wax. I added one other layer on the highest for added safety.
So far as the chalk paint, itself. It’s good paint and goes on properly, however it’s a little expensive. It’s the solely factor I didn’t like, therefore why I make my very own utilizing this DIY Chalk Paint recipe.
After I had the wax buffed to a delicate sheen, I positioned the nightstand in it’s new house.
It seems to be excellent towards the darkish navy wall and bedding and good for friends to put their stuff and cost their telephones.
All seems to be good and fairly on this nook of the room for a weblog shot of a DIY challenge, proper?
In my DIY decor blogger actuality although… after taking this photograph, I rotated and that is what the remainder of the room seems to be like proper now…
…whats up all of the contents of the sport room that we’re making over. As I sort these phrases in my studiworkplace, I can hear Ed upstairs hammering a crowbar to take away the carpet tacking strips from the subfloor.
