    Coastal Chic

    Morning, I finally have that furniture project I promised last week

     

     

    coastal chic white wicker chest furniture makeover by Petticoat Junktion

    Coastal Chic White Chest

    Did you guys have a good weekend?

    Who has the day off today?

    No college classes for me today, woohoo!

    wicker chest

    The sad little chest came from My Favorite Junk Shop.

    Kind of beat-up but I could see potential there.

    The original color is a very pale minty green.

    I’m not sure what you would call the finish on the drawer fronts.

    I don’t think it’s real wicker or rattan but I could be wrong.

    Some of you may be able to give me a little more info on the style.

    sanding funiture

    The top is laminate or whatever you call that slick hard finish.

    I usually don’t worry with sanding it but there were a few spots of fingernail polish and some kind of thick gooey stuff.

    replacing furniture hardware

    It was also missing a hardware pull.

    In my hardware stash I found a piece that covered the original holes so I only had to drill one hole for the new pull.

    I didn’t have a pull that fit the original holes.

    Recently I ran across a furniture makeover with a simple white finish and silver hardware.

    I really liked the look so that was what I wanted to achieve with this piece.

    With all the wicker detail the chest didn’t need a busy paint technique.

    I sprayed all the hardware with silver paint.

    This finish is one that doesn’t really photograph well.

    I know…it’s just me.

    I need a professional photographer on call!

    A perfect piece for the little princess in the household.

    I titled this Coastal Chic because it reminds me of the beach and Florida and furniture found in the condos along the coast.

    Yes, I’m having Florida withdrawal.

    It’s been 4 years since we returned to Tennessee but I still miss Florida.

    I hope you liked the makeover!

      Love the white-- I had a short time where I wanted colour on everything, but I think white is just awesome in the home to brighten up a space 🙂 Unique looking dresser, too!

      Like this piece very much...you are too modest. I think the photograph is good. So fun to bring an old piece back to being useful even if it looks slightly different!

      Yeah for YOU!

      Great piece Kathy, you would never know it is the same piece. Amazing what a little paint can do isn't it? Oh I think your photos are just fine.
