We started the Best Transformations of 2017 Countdown HERE
- Number 12 Vintage Wash Effects Farmhouse Dry Sink
- Number 11 Paris Grey Bedroom Set
We continue today with two of my favorite before and after posts from the past year. One large and one small and both make a huge impact! Let’s get started!
Sometimes the small makeovers make the most impact. This is an example of a little bench and a huge transformation! I had never used the combo of General Finishes Seagull Gray with their Pitch Black Glaze and am so happy that I gave it a try. It created a charcoal finish that gave the bench new life. There is a video tutorial on the process HERE.
- Number 9 Classic Black Dresser
This dresser already was a classic with its shape and wonderful legs. Sanding back the top to its natural grain and adding a warm antique walnut stain onto both the top and legs gave them back the luster they had lost. The body was sealed in a satin finish to add a little sheen to the flat black paint. A classic beauty!
Stay tuned for 8 and 7 tomorrow! We are off to the National Gallery of Art to see a wonderful exhibit, Vermeer and the Masters of Genre Painting: Inspiration and Rivalry that I have been wanting to visit for ages. More on Vermeer here. Have a happy day!
