What do you do when you have a piece of
furniture that belonged to your grandma but it's just a little too out
dated for your style? You paint it of course! Not everyone is a fan of
painted furniture, especially antiques, but that's what this blog is all
about.
Genevieve
contacted me about painting a few pieces that have been in her family
for decades. She and her husband bought a new house and with a new house
comes a new look.
The dresser was her grandmother's and it had a beautiful marble top and some very interesting pulls.
I had to share my succulents. I don't have a green thumb but these are very hard to kill and the best kind of plant for me.
Not only does Genevieve's dresser look a little more modern but she gets to keep something that is special to her and not spend a fortune on a new piece of furniture.
The paint color is Babbling Brook by Olympic and the iron pulls are from Hobby Lobby. I very lightly distressed the edges and sealed with wax.
What are your thoughts on painting old family furniture?
