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.

Jumbo Golden Chalkboard Frame



Sometimes a piece just needs a new purpose. This faded dated old print was matted in a jumbo  (34"X40") modern gold frame. I could see it so much better as a chalkboard.


To protect the frame I used painters tape


then applied Rustoleum chalkboard paint with a small foam roller


giving it 4 coats (I like to do a few boards at a time) sponge sanding coats after each one dries minimum 4 hours, I also change roller direction with each coat

See other projects shown above finished here; red tray, blue tray, large milk painted frame


Remove the tape and whalaa
