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.

Dark Stain and Yellow Milk Paint Step Stool


I run milk paint classes and the perfect project is this IKEA solid wood step stool.
Milk paint loves solid wood!



First step is to assemble the stool, I have left the step tops off to stain with Homestead House's stain and finishing oil all in one in cappuccino. This rich dark stain goes on so well on the natural wood. I applied 2 coats lightly sanding between and after the coats dried overnight.


Homestead House Milk Paint in prairie sunset, the perfect fall yellow was mixed up and brushed on, again using 2 coats.


To seal the milk paint I used a clear matte poly which deepens the yellow color .


Add the stained step tops and it is complete!
