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.

Beachy Farmhouse Table Set using milk paint



A good customer was needing certain sized end tables for their lake house so had her father in law build some and brought to me to paint in a beachy white finish.


Here are the sweet little tables. They are so light weight making them easy to work on and transport.

I started with two full coats of Homestead House Milk Paint  in raw silk as the base color.


Then the layers of other milk paint colors were added, two more shades of white (snow white & light cream from Old Fashioned Milk Paint)


as well as Homestead House Milk Paint's confederate grey for a wee bit of dimension.


All the surfaces were hand sanded to a buttery smooth finish. To seal the milk paint I chose  Homestead House's white stain and oil finish and gave two coats with overnight drying between and a light sanding after each coat was dry.


watch the video to see how easy it goes on


To give more dimension to the routered grooves to create the planked look, I added Fusion Mineral Paint black wax.
