Salt & Pepper Set in Liberty Blue and Copper

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.

Copper tops called for a rich blue don't you think?

This super cute solid wood salt and pepper set was in dire need of a makeover.

After a good scrubbing inside and out it was time to polish the copper tops. See above how the metal polish (center) easily removed the grime.

And with some elbow grease the tops were back to their coppery selves.

There is a slight color difference between the two tops including the silver knobs but mixed metals are all the rage.

Now they are ready to paint.

Two coats of Fusion Mineral Paint in liberty blue were brushed on then paper bag sanded smooth. Fusion paint has a very durable built in top coat making it a super easy less step paint to use.

This gorgeous set is ready to serve.
