Hello 551 East fans! I am Cassie from Primitive and Suitable and I am SO excited to be right here! I just adore Julia- she is super sweet, adorable, and freaking talented beyond all get out, yo. She clearly brings out the gangsta in me due to the reality she is that cool.
Julia and I each and every genuinely like to dabble in furnishings makeovers and we each share a appreciate of colour, a little bit of funk, and a little bit of glam, mixed with a dash of bohemian. I believed I would share a happy colored makeover with you these days.I located this dresser lately on my nearby craigslist. Whenever I find this style for a decent price, I attempt to receive it. I just genuinely like it is classic appear!
The only drawback to this dresser was that normally instances, the wood tends to bleed by indicates of primer and paint when the finish has been sanded off. To save myself that difficulties of sanding and dealing with bleeding I decided to make my private chalk paint.
I use my excellent friend Ann Marie’s recipe: 1/two c. plaster of paris mixed into 1/two c. warm water. Once that is mixed add it to 1 c. flat or eggshell paint and mix successfully. Then you are excellent to go- no sanding or priming needed!
I gave this dresser two coats and then distressed it by hand with 150 grit sandpaper. Then I employed a wax brush to apply a all-natural wax finish. Once the wax dried, I buffed it for a smooth like buttah really feel! Here is the appropriate after:
DIY chalk paint is a single of the easiest and most low-expense approaches to go! I strongly advocate attempting it!
Julia, thank you SO drastically for acquiring me proper here these days!
