Blue & Red Frame

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.

After painting the ornate frame a fun beach glass color, I chose the middle light wood artists frame on the left to paint up. I decided to go with a fun whimsical color combo of red and turquoise.

First coat was American Paint Company blue green called beach glass went on all sides. I used it recently on this cute jewelry box.

Then APC paint in fire works red was layered over the beach glass on all sides again. I did some fun salt and pepper sets in both colors recently as well. Once dry the frame was sanded smooth, lightly distressed and sealed with Minwax dark wax.
