French Provincial Nightstand Modern Makeover

This nightstand is part of a charming French Provincial style bedroom set originally crafted by  Malcolm Furniture  here in Canada years ago. One of my valued customers entrusted me with giving this piece a fresh, updated look. She envisions the entire set transformed into a soothing medium grey, perfectly complementing her new home's décor. Given the nightstand's beautiful, solid construction, it was an easy and rewarding decision to invest in revitalizing this quality piece, ensuring it continues to bring beauty and functionality to its new setting.

Horse Mounting Block Project


My youngest daughter wanted a mounting block for our arena and was lucky enough to have wood and paint on hand to do just that.


First step was to build the mounting block out of deck boards that were pulled off my daughters deck when they built a new one. I love the fact that the wood was repurposed rather then being burnt or buried.


She wanted a turquoise color (hers and my favorite color) to paint it in. I pulled out my can of turquoise Rustoleum's Chalked ultra matte paint .
 

She painted a nice solid coat on with a Rustoleum chalked paint brush and let it dry.


To seal the chalk paint I sprayed on a few coats of Rustoleum's chalked protective topcoat. It is now ready for use, bring on the horses.
