How To Pigment Furniture

Hey ya'll! So, earlier nosotros left for Christmas break a few weeks ago, I started making unopen to changes to our master copy bedroom. 

This volition live the 11th laid upward of changes to this room, 10 of which were fully documented inwards this unexpectedly popular post.
Also known every bit 'that 1 fourth dimension I had Jesse photoshop my confront on a turtle's torso too hundreds of thousands of people saw it.' 

I learned several useful lessons from that post. One, it's okay to portion your failures. We're all human here. Two, I'm non the exclusively mortal who has to decorate a room 45 times earlier it looks fifty-fifty remotely okay. And three, I brand a masculine turtle. 

You can't struggle the truth.

Anyways, I direct hold a few to a greater extent than things to complete upward earlier I portion the sleeping room inwards its entirety, thence today I sentiment I would portion but 1 footling tidbit to boot off the novel year. 

Do y'all call upward Vern?

Probably not.

So, I'll re-introduce y'all today. 

If you're confused, delight refer to this. However, y'all should allow yourself a prolonged Hammer Dance if y'all know who Vern is without looking. 

Make certain to stretch beforehand.

Without farther ado, here's Vern today, looking rather dignified inwards his striped suit.

In other words, I painted a dresser white amongst a grayness stripe.

I kept the hardware the same, but spray painted them dorsum to gold. 

Their memoir volition live out inwards the Spring. 

"From Gold to Silver to Gold Again: Someone delight arrive stop."

I besides added some fun novel accessories. 

I industrial plant life an awesome mirror for $10 at the thrift store. It was originally a black gilded color, but I updated it past times coating the entire frame with this metallic paint and thence I highlighted a few areas with this shade of Rub n Buff (affiliate links).

The footling silverish canister was unopen to other thrift store detect that I've had for awhile, formerly seen here every bit a Q-tip holder.

The furry blob is unopen to cloth that industrial plant life temporary security every bit Vern's scarf. Because it's nigh to live made into a pillow.

I besides bought my outset trouble solid industrial plant life ever, which I position inwards a pretty bowl. And although I watered him actually good earlier nosotros left for Christmas vacation, he did non fare well. I'm currently trying to resuscitate him past times the kitchen sink, but the prognosis isn't good.

It likely doesn't assistance matters that Cheese keeps trying to sit down on it when she looks out the window.

I shouldn't live allowed to ain plants, but it was fun spell it lasted. Luckily, I had the foresight to direct hold these pictures earlier nosotros left. So, let's direct hold a infinitesimal to appreciate my outset too end plant. He was beautiful.

So, here's a quick tutorial if you're wanting to bring together the striped dresser club. 

We direct hold monthly meetings at Red Lobster.

All the Cheddar Bay Biscuits y'all tin eat.

 Dress code is jorts too turtlenecks. No exceptions.

I'm waiving the enrollment fee for a express fourth dimension only.

Ok, thence outset step.

Paint your dresser any y'all desire the base of operations color to be, using the steps mentioned inwards end month's tutorial.

I painted mine during my New Girl marathon, using dollar store shower curtains every bit a dropcloth. It is what it is.

I permit my base of operations coat dry out overnight too the adjacent 24-hour interval I applied record to create my stripe.

Then, I painted over the record amongst the base of operations color. This is a footling describe a fast 1 on I lately learned that prevents your pigment from haemorrhage underneath the tape. Basically, it makes your stripe perfect.

It's awesome.

Then, I painted the stripe amongst my accent color. I wishing I could nation y'all the pigment colors, but I used samples too threw away the empty containers earlier I remembered to write downward the names. So, we're going amongst white too gray. 

Then, earlier the pigment dries, tegument off the tape. You should direct hold a perfect stripe at this point. Then but permit it all dry out too position the dresser dorsum together.

And that's all at that spot is to it!

And that's all for today, ya'll!

I'll live dorsum presently to portion the remainder of the bedroom, my thrift store findings over vacation, too celebrate my two twelvemonth weblog anniversary. I direct hold no sentiment inwards what order, but hopefully all of those things volition direct house at unopen to point. I'm currently all the same inwards the throes of ham euphoria. Plus, it's snowing hither (which never happens) too Downton Abbey is back.

'Til adjacent time!
