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.

Artwork frame makeover


Do you have artwork with frames you wish were a different color?


One of my customers picked up these "weed" prints for her new home but the stark shiny black frames were just not going to match. She was not worried though as she knew I could paint them to fit her new home color scheme.


Cottage Paint in evening sky, a soft grey. While the paint was still wet the edges were wiped with a damp cloth to reveal some of the gold detailing and give a distressed feel. This was done for both coats.


To seal the paint, Cottage Paint acrylic wax in satin sheen was wiped on with a damp cloth again in two coats.



To further bring out the detailed frame grooves and give the whole frame an aged look, Fusion Mineral Paint 's black wax was hand rubbed over it all and wiped back.


The frames turned out perfect for their new home.
