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.

Modern Farmhouse Tray


Trays are a fun way to add character to your home. They can add color, personality and charm while serving a purpose, no pun intended.


Here is the wooden tray in is state I bought it in, black.


I brushed on Old Fashioned Milk Paint in a custom color mix of snow white and light cream on all sides. When dry it was sanded to reveal some of the original black and give a worn rustic feel.


I put out a poll on my Instagram page and got lots of great ideas but I went with my sister's word ... ENJOY!


Using a small stencil brush and a cursive alphabet stencil I stenciled the word enjoy in  Fusion Mineral Paint coal black. Check out this stenciled round coffee table for stenciling videos.


To seal the milk paint, Fusion's clear, black & ageing waxes. The clear was applied all over all sides then the dark waxes added to the crevices to create more rustic vibes. And it is ready to serve!
