One of my clients inherited an entryway bench, but with its dark brown shade, it didn’t really suit her current decor. She therefore called on my services to give new life to this magnificent bench.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n This bench will be very useful since it serves as storage, and we agree that we never have enough storage when it comes to the main entrance to the house.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n So, if you have an entryway bench that is no longer in harmony with your decor, don’t hesitate to spruce it up. Why spend large sums, when you can transform it easily at low cost!<\/span><\/p>\n If you read this blog, you will know all the steps I took to upgrade this bench.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/IMG_3251-scaled.jpeg” alt=”entrance bench” title_text=”IMG_3251″ show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” admin_label=”photo avant” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Produits utilis\u00e9s” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”21px||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”67593,67595″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Development” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”4px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”\u00c9tapes” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_padding=”20px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Firstly my client’s furniture had an old oiled finish, so I sprayed the Cleaner and Varnish remover<\/a> on all surfaces and I left it on for 30 minutes. Once the time had elapsed, I took care to rinse several times using a cloth with hot water, in order to remove all the residue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I let it dry for an hour before continuing my work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since the bench was quite dark and the Colorantic chalk paint is very covering, two coats of\u00a0 Sunflower<\/a> paint will have been sufficient.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Colorantic chalk paint dries quickly, so drying time is quick. You can apply a second coat 30 minutes after the first coat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Once the last coat of paint was applied and before it dried completely, I proceeded to l\u2019antiquage.<\/span><\/p>\n Using a white cloth dampened with warm water, I rubbed in strategic areas to remove paint to imitate wear caused by time. In a few places I used the sanding block.<\/span><\/p>\n Before finishing, I waited about two hours to make sure the paint was completely dry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I applied a first coat of varnish, and once dry I sanded lightly using 400 grit paper. I made sure to dust very well before applying the second coat of varnish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n I used varnish rather than wax since the bench is placed in an entryway and my clients needed a piece of furniture that was easy to clean frequently. <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/entryway-bench-with-chalk-paint-4.jpg” alt=”entryway bench with chalk paint (4)” title_text=”entryway bench with chalk paint (4)” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Finished Product” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”5px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Conclusion” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_orientation=”justified” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The entrance to the house being made of wood, this bench in a punchy color brings a very nice touch of light to the room.
