Pier One to Pottery Barn Trunk Makeover

A client brought in this Pier One trunk/coffee table to be painted. They wanted the finished product to be in the style of Pottery Barn furniture. The result was just what they envisioned. Now this updated, custom painted trunk/coffee table is ready to go back home and give them years of service.

Pine Shelf goes Farmhouse


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 brushI 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. 


 The shiny satin silver knobs were changed out for a more cohesive farmhouse look to an oil rubbed bronze knob with fun detailing.



I <3 the updated farmhouse look the creamy milk paint color and new hardware add to this shelf.
I may add small hooks to the lower portion for even more storage options.
