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.

Blue & Red Frame



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.


Chicken wire was stapled from the back side securely in the frame and the hanging wire reattached.


I love these fun colored frames for sun glasses catch all, photos or jewelry display



I also created a solid wood pepper grinder in the same colors and think the pair would look so great in a kitchen to give a pop of color
