Second Hand Furnishings Makeover

She is adorning the nursery in a white and lavender shade scheme. She was going to color it lavender, however when she requested my opinion, my “skilled mother mind” kicked in and I advised her to color it white. This manner if she has a second little one, (which they need) and it’s a boy, she gained’t should repaint it to suit a boy’s room shade scheme.
I advised her we might use lavender paint different items that will keep within the child’s room as she grows. Once I received dwelling, I did simply that… maintain studying until the top of the put up to see what I painted lavender.

On their web site, you possibly can see the collection of paint colours all of which comprise little-to-no VOCs together with the opposite merchandise that may help in all of your furnishings portray initiatives. I like that they provide 4 ounce measurement jars. These make it very reasonably priced paint when you’re portray a small merchandise or need to pattern a number of colours earlier than making a shade alternative.
Since I knew the colours Kelly needed to make use of, I ordered the colours Simplicity for the altering desk and Mermaid’s Tail and Tribe to combine to create a shade of lavender for an additional piece. To seal the paint, I went with their Pure Wax which is obvious.
I desire the feel and appear of a waxed end, however the paint can be sealed with poly or their Powerful-Coat product.

Each coats went on tremendous clean. I let the primary one dry, ran sandpaper over it, and cleaned the sanding grit off after which utilized a second coat. As you possibly can see that second coat continues to be moist. That’s how I left it since I ran out of time. Our vacation go to was over and Ed and I needed to head dwelling.

As soon as the paint was dry, Kelly completed it with some distressing and added a layer of clear wax that she buffed to a refined sheen.
The subsequent time Ed and I go to, this altering desk shall be in use. 🙂
I’ll get an “AFTER” photograph of it then and can add it to this put up, even perhaps with a cute little granddaughter within the photograph.
