Refinishing furniture you already have while renovating your interior environment is a great way to save money and give it new life, custom tailored to your needs.
Here, I will walk you through one project I executed for some very happy clients as they prepared a nursery for the newest member of their family.
Spraying BIN primer followed by two subsequent coats of the oak base color.
My client had this perfectly useful dresser but the color and brass knobs no longer matched the concept design for her future nursery..
A concept board of the new vision, with calm white oaks and neutral tones.
We liked this color and "rust" tones to start with.
From there we referred to the Benjamin Moore deck and narrowed down identifiable colors..
I also referenced colors from the mockup for the nursery's mural design.
We chose an oak knob to be installed on the completed dresser, so I custom mixed a corresponding color for the base coat of my finish.
Based out sample boards.
With rust, color selection, fabric samples and the surrounding design elements of the nursery furniture and mural in mind, I created these samples to test out in the space with my client.
The winning finish.
After priming and spraying two coats of the custom base coat, I applied a first pass of a washy orange glaze, creating the mid-tones of our finish.
First glaze complete.
The second pass I cross hatched a browner glaze over the orange undertone. This is the final glaze strié
