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.

Vintage Ornate End Table in Refrew Blue


Are you a fan of these vintage ornate end tables? I think they are a great piece of the past when they are painted to bring the details out.


They have a presence about them and just need a pretty coat of paint to bring them back to life.


For this large square one I chose Fusion Mineral Paint in renfrew blue. After a deep cleaning with Simple Green cleaner and a soft damp rag then wiped with clean water and left to dry, it was time to paint.


The color is such a rich teal with a clear base that allows the original dark stain and wood grain to peek thru perfectly.


Here is the second coat going on (left) using my Fusion Mineral Paint angled 2" brush.


Once it dried well overnight I added black wax to POP the details. See the above right door black waxed and left not.


The original hardware was scrubbed and put back on.


This vintage piece looks awesome now I think, do you agree?
