Seaside Blue Magazine Rack Personalized Too

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.

Where are my blue lovers?? Look at this gorgeous seaside blue from Rustoleum.

I originally put a poll out for votes to paint this solid wood magazine rack in blue or yellow and it ended up tied.

Step 1 was to scrub up then remove the country stencils from the 80's.

My handy Dewalt orbital sander removed it in short order. Another good wipe down to remove any sanding dust and it was on to painting.

Rustoleum seaside 2X cover spray paint was the color of choice. I like to spray in my barn as it is well ventilated.

Watch how easy it is to apply. More thinner coats are preferred for great drip free coverage.

Be sure to let it dry well before handling to prevent fingerprints and dings.

The customer who purchased it wanted it personalized to match a bread box she recently purchased from me.

She wanted "rae dunn" inspired font again with the word READ on each end of the magazine rack. I do mine by hand after setting the size & font using Microsoft word then print out.
