French Provincial Nightstand Modern Makeover

This nightstand is part of a charming French Provincial style bedroom set originally crafted by  Malcolm Furniture  here in Canada years ago. One of my valued customers entrusted me with giving this piece a fresh, updated look. She envisions the entire set transformed into a soothing medium grey, perfectly complementing her new home's décor. Given the nightstand's beautiful, solid construction, it was an easy and rewarding decision to invest in revitalizing this quality piece, ensuring it continues to bring beauty and functionality to its new setting.

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!

Here is a stool I did with blue milk paint colors


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 .
See this gorgeous yellow milk paint on a square end table here.


Add the stained step tops and it is complete!
