How to transform an office into Farmhouse style (1)

 

After she gave me several pieces of furniture that she wanted to get rid of, my aunt seemed won over by my revaluations. So she asked me, this time, to make her a custom one, but with a “farmhouse” style.

 

This one has sentimental value and already has its assigned place in his magnificent home. You will see during the stages that he was also entitled to a “back” beauty, since his location is in the mezzanine, back against the guard. It was therefore intended to be visible on its 4 sides.

Products used for a farmhouse style

Modification of the furniture

  1. I started by covering the top of the cabinet with old boards recovered from an old sugar shack. I fixed them with finishing nails and once they were secure, I ran the plane to even out everything. 
  2. The center drawer did not have the same look as the rest of the cabinet, surely it had been changed over time. I then decided to replace its facade with an old wooden board in order to harmonize it above. 

Finishing the wooden planks to give the farmhouse style 

I mechanically sanded the boards with 80-grit paper to prevent wood sides from showing out. 

Since the boards were aged over time, the plane faded some areas. So to make them look like the rest of the old boards, I burned with a torch to blacken the desired places and give them a rustic look. Since I wanted to give the same look above the chair, I also burned a few random spots.

To make it as soft as possible, I sanded mechanically with fine paper, making sure the sides were secure. Once satisfied with the top, I blew with an air compressor to remove any excess wood dust. 

I applied three coats of Colorantic matte varnish to the boards, lightly sanding between each coat.

Preparation

  1. I removed the drawers and washed each surface to be painted using the Cleaner and Varnish remover. I sprayed it on, left it on for 30 minutes and rinsed well twice to remove all the residue. 
  2. Once the furniture was completely dry, I applied a coat of Colorantic Agrippe-tout primer

The painting 

  1. I applied a first coat of Cotton Ball color to the entire piece of furniture as well as to the back and legs of the chair. 
  2. I also applied a first coat of Sangria color to the interior sides of the drawers to create harmony with the wallpaper inside the drawers. 
  3. Once the paint was dry, I gave it a second coat of paint.

Finishing the furniture to achieve the farmhouse style

  1. After the paint was completely dry, I was ready to varnish. One coat of varnish is enough, I made sure to cover each painted area well. 
  2. I finally applied the wallpaper using Mod Podge glue. This adds a unique effect when opening the drawers. 
  3. I also applied wallpaper to the back of the furniture. 

Now is the time to put the furniture back in place. It goes without saying that once assembled, this piece of furniture with its romantic and vintage look won me over. I couldn’t wait to introduce her to her owners!

They were charmed, and they are convinced that recovering old furniture remains a very sensible option when we value the history and quality of our good old wooden furniture.
