We all have an outdated piece of furniture lying around somewhere in the house that we don’t want to get rid of knowing that it can still be functional.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n This outdated piece of furniture surely lacks a simple touch of \u201cpep\u201d to bring it up to date. So why not transform it and make it a work of art that will highlight the room intended for it. Colorantic chalk paint is the ideal product for this kind of transformation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=”List of products used” _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=”39005,39007,39009,38999,39013″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”52%” module_alignment=”center” 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” 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_margin=”0px|auto||auto|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 <\/p>\n First of all, it is essential to correct any defects in the furniture before starting any project. So we remove the handles, we plug the holes in them if we use different handles.<\/span> \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In order to obtain excellent adhesion, I lightly sanded the entire piece of furniture in order to scratch it. This important step allows for better adhesion, especially if your furniture is made of melanin as in this case. Once all the dust was removed, I applied a coat of the oil-based primer<\/a>. Furthermore, I started with a brush and finished with a roller on the flat surfaces.<\/span><\/p>\n When dealing with melamine, it is better to use oil primer rather than water primer.<\/span><\/p>\n Once the primer has dried, it is now time to start painting.<\/span><\/p>\n Using a roller and a brush, apply two coats of chalk paint, Blue Moon<\/a> to the top of the furniture, the sides and the front contour of the furniture. It is important to allow the paint to dry between coats for best results.<\/span><\/p>\n Let’s start by painting the drawer. So to create the gradient effect, start with a dark color such as Blue Moon and mix the color with white and a little water. Let dry and apply a few brush strokes with the white paint and wipe. Sand and clean. Finish with a complementary color, such as, Mermaid<\/a> which we also mixed with white and water. In other words, choose in similar shades or choose complementary colors.<\/span><\/p>\n Having finished, for the interior and sides of the drawers, I used wallpaper. The technique is quite simple since it is a self-adhesive wallpaper so you only need to cut the desired format.<\/span><\/p>\n Next, for the stencil, you will need some sticky paper to hold it in place. Using a stencil brush, tap lightly so as not to cause overflow…and that’s it!<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Finally, apply the paint, Metallic Jewel<\/a> to the edges of the furniture and install the handles.

Chalk paint isn\u2019t complicated!<\/b><\/h3>\n
Step 1<\/b><\/h3>\n
<\/span>When your furniture is well repaired, you can then start using a good makeup remover cleaner to remove the accumulation of grease from recent years, the shine of varnish or other things.<\/span>
<\/span>In this case, I used Colorantic Varnish Remover and Cleanser<\/a> which I left on for at least 30 minutes. Then I used a bucket of hot water and a well wrung out cloth to remove all residue from all surfaces. I repeated this operation a second time.<\/span><\/p>\nStep 2<\/b><\/h3>\n
