Antique wardrobe, table and decals
Antique wardrobe and side table
I found this wardrobe on Marketplace for free! Yes, you heard it right.
For Free!!
And the little side table was given to me. I wanted to create a little set and my inspiration came when I saw a kit of decals that were on liquidation at the hardware store. This is when I decided to experiment with the decals and some Colorantic chalk based paint.
List of Products Used:
- Colorantic Oil Based Primer
- Chalk Based Paint – Night
- Colorantic Top Coat – Varnish
- Colorantic #6 Synthetic Oval Purple Brush
- Chalk Based Paint – Cotton Ball
- Colorantic Synthetic Snow White Brush
- Colorantic Two Grain Sanding Block
- Yellow Velvet Foam Roller
- Colorantic Mango Hand and Brush Pumice Soap
Step One- Preparing your piece of furniture
- A good sanding to remove any varnish…
- Something I should have done but didn’t(was using a coat of oil primer)which means that I had to use more paint. I should have asked the fantastic Colorantic team for the steps before starting.
- It is now time to apply your paint.
Step 2 – Paint
- Two coats of Night were applied on the side table.
- For each coat, I dipped my paintbrush into my paint then sprayed my brush two or three times with water.
- I waited 20 minutes before giving it a second coat.
- Next, for the white wardrobe, it’s a little more complicated… it doesn’t cover as well no matter what paint company you use. By using my primer I only had to apply three coats of paint.
Step 3 – Protector and topcoat
- I used my sanding block all over until I was satisfied with the “distressed” look that I wanted.
- I finished by applying one coat of matte varnish, I sanded lightly with my sanding block and then applied a second coat of varnish.
CONCLUSION
And here you have it, for a very low cost I was able to transform an outdated wardrobe and a side table and now have a completely different set.
