Bayberry Green Jumbo Salt and Pepper Grinder Set

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.

This is the tallest salt and pepper set I have seen. They are jumbo at 16" high. A customer wanted them updated in a rich green color and chose Fusion Mineral Paint bayberry.

As always the first step was to scrub them well. There is always something on wood surfaces after years of use that will affect the paint adherence.

Size is deceptive so I put the paint tub beside them. Tall right?

Three coats of Fusion Mineral Paint bayberry were carefully brushed on for a smooth seamless finish. The customer did not want an aged look but rather a modern solid look. To add a bit of shine over the matte paint I hand rubbed in Homestead House clear wax.
