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.

Classic Black Dining Chairs


Classic black chairs can complement nearly any dining room color scheme, don’t you think? This solid wood pair is a perfect addition to any home. While I typically hand-paint my chairs, these ones were given a sleek update with a spray gun.



These two chairs definitely needed a makeover. They look like they could use a few repairs as well.


As with all pieces I first start with a good clean. white lightning cleaner now comes in a premixed spray bottle which worked great for these spindles. Spray liberally, scrub with a brush and rinse well. Wipe with a towel and let dry.


The gouges along the top edge of the chairs were filled with DAP wood pro.


Many spots were filled and left to dry well.


The mouse head on my Festool rotex 90 sander is perfect for chairs getting into tight spaces easily


These 2 were painted at the same time as 4 pressed back dining chairs as well. The steps in that tutorial were the exact same steps this pair was painted. There are videos and further details there showing how they were primed with grey Dixie Belle Bonding Boss then painted with Caviar Dixie Belle Paint  sealed with multiple coats of satin clear coat  using the Wagner Flexio 500 paint sprayer
