What is the best furniture to upcycle with chalk paint?

The finish on the top of the dresser was scratched and marred in several areas. It is a quality piece of furniture that coordinated with the rest of our traditional red mahogany bedroom suite. Our bedroom was probably the one room in our home that didn’t reflect the coastal design of the rest of the house. As I’ve slowly been updating the bedroom, deciding what to do with the dresser was a problem. We couldn’t afford a new dresser so selling it was an option. I considered stripping it bare, but that task seemed daunting and I simply didn’t have the energy. Being the very impatient person I am, this makeover had to be fast and easy!

Recommended surface preparation in addition to the above – clean with Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse, dry, hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface and/or to smooth any protrusions after filling. Wipe off any dust, paint away!

Step 5: (Optional) -The existing holes in the drawer fronts would not accommodate the new hardware I had chosen, so filling some holes was necessary.Fill any screw holes with wood filler and and after it drys, sand lightly to a smooth finish. Because wood filler has a tendency to shrink as it dries, I prefer to over fill the holes just slightly and then sand to a flat surface. The object is to make those filled holes disappear completely!

A 750ml tin will provide a single coat of up to 12.5m 2. For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for just over 6m 2 on non-porous surfaces like laminate or metal. Limited Edition 500ml tins will provide a single coat of up to 8. 5m 2 . Before using chalk paint, ensure that you have thoroughly cleaned the item and the surface. Ensure that the item is fully dry. Most chalk paint does not require you to sand the item or to use a primer. However, such additional preparation will not hurt your project and may enhance the results.

For a great demonstration, see our video. Porous, or ‘thirsty’ surfaces like bare wood or MDF, tend to absorb paint meaning additional coats are likely to be required to achieve a durable finish. In this case, your 750ml tin will provide less than 6m 2 of full coverage. If you apply the paint too thinly, durability may be affected.
