Pine Shelf goes Farmhouse

Modernized Pine Dresser in Gray

If you're a fan of clear coat pine, this makeover might not be your cup of tea. But for those who love breathing new life into old furniture, I hope this tutorial sparks some inspiration! The original clear pine finish has aged over the years, and the tall dresser has endured its fair share of wear and tear. With a little care, attention, and a fresh new color, it now serves a new purpose with renewed charm.

I am a big farmhouse style fan and when I saw this solid pine country shelf I knew it could be farmhouse styled.

I chose Miss Mustard Seed milk paint in marzipan, a soft creamy color, to paint it with my angled sash Zibra brush, I used this same color on this sweet accent table and a set of glass canisters. I applied 2 coats of marzipan for a great light cream color update.

Then the edges were lightly distressed then sealed with a clear wax then I added more dimension with Fusion Mineral Paint ageing and espresso waxes. Layering these waxes gives an authentic aged look.
