Since our marriage in July 1976, we have had the same bedroom furniture. High quality maple wood furniture manufactured by Vilas, a Canadian company located in Victoriaville.<\/span><\/p>\n We still loved this set a lot and for several years, seeing so many revalorisation projects, I also wanted to give it a new look, even if it is still in very good condition.<\/span><\/p>\n My husband wasn’t thrilled by my idea, his fear was that the furniture would lose all of its charm. Although my head was full of ideas, none of them were convincing enough to persuade him.<\/span><\/p>\n After doing some research, showing him photos and getting a few ideas, I finally had all the right points allowing me to persuade him.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”logo Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Explication introduction” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Seeing the photos and knowing my concern for a job well done, he then agreed to my idea of \u200b\u200bthe transformation. On the other hand, he wanted to keep the very beautiful wardrobe in its natural state. Even before undertaking this transformation, I already knew that there would be a lot of white in this room, so I happily accepted his idea knowing that it would bring a nice touch of warmth in all of the whiteness.<\/span><\/p>\n This is the project that took me the most time to plan out, not being convinced myself that I was making the right decision.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”32424″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”50%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”List of products used” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px||1px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Divers produits Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mobilier-de-chambre-2.jpg” alt=”mobilier” title_text=”Mobilier de chambre (2)” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” width=”57%” module_alignment=”center” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_button button_url=”https:\/\/colorantic.com\/en\/shop\/” button_text=”Shop” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” button_bg_color=”#ef6079″ button_border_color=”RGBA(255,255,255,0)” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Steps” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|auto||auto|false|false” custom_padding=”3px||||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=”Explications du processus” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n First, I removed the handles.<\/span><\/p>\n I sprayed the<\/span> cleaner and varnish remover<\/a><\/p>\n on all surfaces and left it on for 30 minutes.
