Now that I have started painting and revamping furniture...I can't seem to stop myself.
(My husband has started calling me Sir Paints A Lot. Adorable, eh?)
Here lies my boring old buffet (R.I.P) in good ole black laminate. This was the first piece of furniture my husband and I bought together; we needed more storage for all the kitchencrap wares we registered for. She has been a good girl, served her purpose well, but it was time for a rebirth!
Yup, you guessed it! It wouldn't be a post these days without the help of our chalk paint!
Two quick coats turned this black laminate silky white in 1 hour!
For the frame I used Old White. For the doors, Duck Egg.
I did the lightest of light distressing on this one. I just can't have it too "finished" looking. Not my style.
Helloooo, gorgeous! Once this gal was done, I just couldn't stop staring at her. So I did what any great decorator would do: moved it into the darkest, dreariest hallway in America.
(With terrible lighting to boot! Thank God we are moving in days!!)
I cannot wait to find just the right spot for this piece in the new digs!

ReplyDeleteI am now your newest follower. You have some lovely things here.
I love the idea, but I've never heard of the chalk paint. I'm considering painting my parents' cupboards in their kitchen, but I want something that will hold up well to wear. Maybe this is the thing to keep me from sanding for days!
ReplyDeletethis looks great i have several dark fake wooden laminate furniture pieces around and would love to paint them, did you use a primer or just the chalk paint ??
ReplyDeleteHi Olivia,
DeleteNo primer needed with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint! You just need the wax after you paint to seal it. Thanks for reading!
