Ikea Revamp Project

Ikea Revamp Project- My sister-in-law gave me this cute, little, wood, six-drawer cubby that she used to hold her make-up in her bathroom. They were remodeling their bathroom and thought that I might like to use it. I had not tried the staining over paint technique yet so I thought this would be an easy way to test it out.

Step 1: paint the wood piece color of your choice (I chose an olive green)

Step 2: lightly sand wear areas for a distressed look

 

Step 3: stain the entire piece and wipe off all excess
Step 4: finish the piece with a protective top coat of your choice
             (I used a spray polyurathane)

I finished off my piece with some fun metal numbers
I purchased from my good friends at PINK in Spokane, WA

Painted Kiddie Phono

My good friend, Elaine, gave me this cute little wooden bench to work some magic on. I originally thought it was a gossip chair or telephone chair but it has a sticker on the back that says Kiddie Phono. I decided to paint it a lite green, brown glaze, a little sanding to distress, a coat of poly for longevity and there you have it. I think this little bench would be sooo cute in a baby room, but for now I'm using it as a plant stand.
