Happy Thursday! This week’s before & after submission is from Stylish Patina reader, Jada. Jada is an avid furniture refresher; she says, “I love to take old pieces of furniture and bring them back to life with paint“. Well, we are glad she does because this week she is sharing a beautiful buffet with us!
Jada found this buffet at auction and knew immediately that it had so much potential.
Here is a before shot of the buffet.
Jada knew this piece needed a little TLC – so she decided to paint it! Her process included:
- 2 coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Coco
- 1 coat of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Old White
- Sanded and distressed the dresser by hand
- Dry brushed Old White in different areas
- 2 coats of clear wax & 1 coat of dark wax in areas that needed a more aged look
- Original hardware sprayed with Rustoleum Rubbed Oil Bronze
- Decoupaged drawers with vintage wrapping paper
And without further ado – here is Jada’s finished project; keep scrolling for detail shots!
