Another fairly new color release from Fusion Mineral paint Penney & CO collection is a
pretty color called coral. It is the perfect color for this solid pine nightstand with hopes of spring arriving soon.
This piece has seen some loving and probably has many stories to share including the carvings scratched into the top and the sides
BUT this is why I love solid wood
After everything was sanded smooth, the nightstand had a spa treatment
with various scrub brushes, a bucket of soapy
TSP enhanced water
and a garden hose to rinse clean.
Once good and dry it was time to start the fun part, adding
the coral color
The original handle was broken so I chose to fill the holes when I was
sanding and
drill a new center hole for a shiny new knob.
As well I wanted to add a whimsical touch to the drawer front, I chose a sweet stencil from Fusion's awesome stencil selection along with their
smooth embossing paste mixed with some
silver metallic paint. With these 2 products, I created this slightly raised medallion of sorts around the new knob.
I lean towards simplicity over lots of embellishments but felt that the 4 little mushroom buttons near the bottom of the nightstand would look perfect painted in
metallic silver,
adding just a wee bit more sparkle
I also like to add an element of surprise so I painted the drawer bottom
in
Fusion's gorgeous azure!
Once dry, it was time to put together with new knob and take a few pictures of this beauty.
