During the Parade of Homes this year, I ordered this vanity.
But it didn't have the look I was going for the powder bathroom.
So I bought some Waverly Inspirations- chalk paint
Base coat- Peacock #60705E (Chalk)
Top coat- Antique #60727E (Wax)
I also recommend buying a chalk paint brush and wax brush.
(There are many brands of chalk paint- choose whichever one you like best.)
I was definitely very nervous to tackle this project-- after all, my plan was to install it in one of our high dollar, custom homes. So the pressure was on, needless to say.
I did my research on my go to site-- Pinterest of course.
I found this post, which really helped me.
Step one- clean your furniture piece with a damp cloth & let dry.
Step two- apply a little amount of paint to brush and start applying to furniture.
(I actually kind of freaked out once the first coat was finished- I didn't like the color at all!
But I kept on going anyway..)
Step three- very lightly sand
Step three- very lightly sand
Step four- apply little amount of wax to brush and start applying to furniture.
(After the wax coat was complete- I was in LOVE! Totally what I had pictured!)
Step five- Spray or brush on a sealer
Lastly- I changed the cabinet hardware.
Picked these up on sale at Hobby Lobby.
The updated look cost less than $30 bucks!
Viola! Such a fun pop of color!
Have fun with your next projects!

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteIt’s good, but I want to share that I planned to marry my lover Automatic Driving lesson Blackburn . Initially, both my partner and I were very excited, but the main reason for the cancellation of the marriage was that we had no idea about DIY projects. While searching on Google, I came across the website Ashley Barrett Designs.
The steps they outlined included cleaning, painting, sanding, waxing, and sealing the piece, followed by replacing the hardware. Despite my initial doubts, the result was a vibrant, updated look for under $30.
