DIY: Painting Solid Wood Furniture White/ How to Distress White Furniture

7:43 PM

Everybody loves a good before and after picture!  Here are a couple for your viewing pleasure.  

I used THIS  tutorial, from back in the day, to complete both projects.

I added only one step. Before sealing the paint with the polyurathane, I decided to distress each piece with some 220 grit sandpaper.  Oh, and I decided to go with a semi-gloss rather than a gloss.  I kinda love how they both turned out.  What do you think?


The piece above is in my little girl's bedroom.  I absolutely love the glass knobs that I found on sale at Hobby Lobby!


Above, is a dresser that I refinished/stained over 6 years ago.  It was, in fact, my very first refinishing project ever.  Can you tell?  Yes, yes you can. Thank the heavens for white paint!

Sisters Meg and Steph discovered that while living the life of poor, newlywed, college students, with fresh little babies in the middle of The Great Recession they could still have what they needed and wanted if they got to work and created things with their own hands. This mindset has saved them thousands of dollars in living expenses, and as they share their knowledge with others, the savings keeps growing.
