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.

Farmhouse Crate


This little wooden crate just needed some paint and dark wax to give it personality.

It is available on my Etsy store


Start by scrubbing the piece well with a cleaner like Simple Green cleaner and a scrub brush to get in all the corners.


Jolie Paint's palace white was dry brushed on all sides then lightly sanded to smooth the wood and remove some of the paint using a sanding sponge. A damp cloth wiped a bit of the paint off the metal corners for a worn look.


The entire crate was sealed with Jolie's clear wax using their fabulous wax brush. To add dimension and give an aged look, their brown wax was applied in corners and around the edges. I LOVE their wax brush and have 2, one for each color wax.
