Album: Public (daniknight4)

by daniknight4
Ultra tough stain blocker.
Taking off excess paper.
Sanding down so it is seamless and smooth is so satisfying:)
This step makes it a bit quicker to sand the overhang.
Also sanding the edges of the sides.
Calcium carbonate to make chalk paint.

These little mistint paint pots will just do two bedside tables.
Adding the calcium carbonate to the paint.
Applying the chalk paint.
I ended up painting three coats on the top.
No stress applying beautiful gold metal handles in predrilled holes.
Pretty wallpaper looked lovely on the drawer sides.
Floor protectors a must.
I love the end piece...so pretty.
Lil coasters using craft coasters and wallpaper
I always wax which gives the paint a lovely matte sheen.

Using sugar soap removes dirt and residue.

The final result with a new top and all fancy!

From broke to bespoke, it was a miracle:)
Although the top was veneer and chipboard, the sides of the top were solid wood so it was hard to remove.
Trying to pull the top off but it was satisfying!
I thought I may be able to just paint under the veneer but it was damaged chipboard.
It became more clear as I removed the sides.
There was a lot more damage on the sides too.
I used an old round pine top I had bought for another project. I thought this might be the solution to the tabletop problem.
I added extra for  a lip around the sides and front and applied some masking tape before David cut it with a circular saw.
I used the old top as a template
I could see some yellow stains but they weren't too bad.
I thought I would smooth out the edges too.
Sanding off the previous paint and glue marks.
The veneer was peeling off in a lot of places.
I  thought I'd just go for it so I sanded the wood fill and scuff sanded the body and drawers in prep for the primer and paint.
further secured it by hammering nails into back panel.
I used Maxi Nails construction adhesive to attach it to the top.
I clamped it in place then...
I used three coats of paint in total, brushing on then rolling over with a high density foam roller to give a smooth finish.
I used Zinsser Bullseye 123 primer first, applying two coats.
My  lil collection of paint pots.
Making the chalk paint.
I stenciled all three drawer fronts and the drawer sides so that when they are opened they would look pretty. It was just an excuse to keep stenciling really:)
So much fun to do.
They look so pretty,
Tightening the nut.
