When I changed from a sports car to an SUV, I realized that I could finally make my dreams of furniture upcycling come true. My new vehicle would allow me to transport all the furniture I wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n Several years ago, my mother renovated a piece of furniture which majestically brightened up her bathroom and ever since, I have been overwhelmed by the idea of \u200b\u200brepurposing old furniture. So, when I saw this beauty in poor condition, I couldn’t resist: I had to buy it!<\/span><\/p>\n Why not transform this piece of furniture with a colour gradient? As you read below, you will find all the steps I performed to arrive at the final result.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”38663,38666,38667,38670″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”45%” module_alignment=”center” max_height=”738px” custom_margin=”28px|||522px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”Divers produits Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” custom_margin=”41px|||||” custom_padding=”||0px|||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”logo Colorantic” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”1px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Steps” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”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=”Explications du processus” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” min_height=”122px” custom_margin=”8px||-6px|||” custom_padding=”4px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Dark: A mix of Emerald<\/a> and Nature<\/a> (the front of the furniture)<\/span><\/p>\n Medium: A mix of Nature<\/a> and Sage<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Pale: A Mix of Sage<\/a> and Ocean<\/a> (the outline of the doors)<\/span><\/p>\n BLENDING (gradient effect): When I watched blending videos online, it looked so easy. Let me tell you: it takes a lot of patience and practice. On the other hand, the result takes your projects to a whole new level.<\/span><\/p>\n First of all, we must give a uniform base coat, in this case, the colour SAGE<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Then, we must work in sections. The paint dries very quickly so we need to mist with a spray bottle, as this helps keep our paint wet.<\/span><\/p>\n We need a brush for each colour. Use another clean dry brush to blend the colours.<\/span><\/p>\n To apply the wax, I advise you to use the large XL brush<\/a>. Work in sections of approximately 2 square feet. Apply wax randomly and buff using a blue workshop paper towel. At first you will feel resistance and when the wax is well polished you will feel your hand slipping. It is very important to change paper towels for each section.<\/span><\/p>\n The wax can take seven days to dry and even longer in some cases, depending on the humidity level in the house.<\/span><\/p>\n With practice, nothing is impossible. Before blending on a piece of furniture, I advise you to try it on small pieces of wood. If the result is not successful, it’s less disappointing than having to start the entire piece of furniture again, believe me.<\/span><\/p>\n My transformation project was very interesting to do. Creating a colour gradient was very fun and still easy to do if you have the time and, above all, the patience!<\/span><\/p>\n For more decorating ideas, visit the Facebook group: Trucs & d\u00e9cos de tout genre:<\/span><\/p>\n https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/338742056331286<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”Project completed” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”2px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”38671,38658″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”45%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”28px|||522px||” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_gallery][et_pb_text admin_label=”Texte” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Join<\/span> our English Colorantic group<\/a><\/p>\n Newsletter<\/a> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.25.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Products Used:<\/b><\/h2>\n
