How do I paint a 50s-style sideboard?
I searched long and hard for the small piece of furniture that would add a touch of originality to this country-style kitchen. I didn’t really have a particular style in mind, since whatever the style of furniture or decorative accessory, it’s possible to give them a completely different look just by painting them, so I was mainly looking for original elements.
I fell in love with this little sideboard and shelf. When I saw them, I knew immediately that I was going to make a very original decorative set.
I’m very inspired by all these beautiful, light, colorful hues from another era. To give the antique style I was looking for to my new finds, Colorantic’s beautiful Sage color was perfect. This soft, deep green is reminiscent of the beautiful, warm hues of yesteryear.
As you read on, you’ll discover the products I used and I’ll explain one by one the steps I took to complete this project.
The products you need to give this style to your furniture
First step: prepare the surfaces
The first step, and by the way the most important one for a long-lasting job, is undoubtedly a good cleaning, to remove all traces of dirt and grease.
I sprayed the nail polish cleaner and remover on all surfaces and left it on for about 30 minutes. During the rest period, I sprayed the cleaner again.
Once the time was up, using a cloth dampened with hot water, I rinsed very well twice, making sure to remove all residues. This step is also very important to ensure that the paint adheres well.
After cleaning, I lightly sanded all the surfaces, as this also helps the paint adhere better. As this piece of furniture had previously been varnished in oil, I applied oil primer to allow me to make the transition between the old oil finish and the new acrylic paint.
Step 2: Apply colors
Once the primer had dried, I was ready for the most exciting part of the project. So I applied the gorgeous color, Sage, to the cabinet, shelf and all the accessories. For the buffet, I used the #10 oval brush for large surfaces, and the Snow White brush for corners and areas requiring greater precision.
For the very original spice rack and small accessories, I opted for the #10 oval brush too, and it was a very good choice.
I used the color, Cotton ball, only to paint part of the utensils, which are only used to decorate the shelf.
For either the Sage or Cottonball color, two coats of paint were more than enough.
Third step: the finishing touch
When the paint was completely dry, and before applying the Natural Beeswax, I lightly sanded all the surfaces using the soft side of the sanding block. Personally, I find this softens the paint and makes it easier to apply the wax.
Using the XL brush, on a small area at a time, I applied the Natural Beeswax. Once the wax was applied, I took care to polish it well using the paper towels. I repeated these steps for all the surfaces, changing paper towels regularly.
Once I’d finished applying the Natural Beeswax, and in order to give the desired vintage look, I opted for the Antique Brown wax.
I applied it to the corners, edges and corners. This color blends perfectly with Sage, adding richness and depth to desired areas and decorative elements.
This unusual little sideboard brings a very special style to a country-style kitchen.It’s important to be daring when it comes to decorating, because it’s these particularly original touches that make all the difference to our decor.
In the end, I got exactly the effect I wanted! I’m very happy with the end result.
