Tutorial: Lucky Horseshoe Boys bedroom furniture makeover with before and after photos.

I don’t often paint boys bedroom furniture but this chest of drawers was calling for a masculine style makeover. The extra details I added to the painted chest takes the chest over the top. Wait until you see it.

Boys Painted Furniture for the Cowboy At Heart

Jen, Girl In The Garage, and I are bringing you two themed furniture makeovers today. I’m really excited about our projects. I love the way they turned out. Patting myself on the back….and Jen too… I have a long arms.

I purchased the chest at the Nashville Flea Market. It was love at first sight. The chunky knobs and lines of the chest are distinctly masculine. Perfect for a cowboy themed makeover! The whole piece was wood….real wood, including the drawer knobs.

I painted the chest with Beyond Paint in Mocha. Beyond paint is a primer, paint, and sealer all in one. The sheen is perfect because it has a soft look between flat and satin.

The mocha is a really dark warm brown. This is one of the few times that I didn’t remove the hardware when I painted the furniture.

The horseshoes and rusty star are purchases from EBay. I bought bunches of them a long time ago. I crafted several projects using the stars and horseshoes in the past but nothing recently. In fact, I kind-of forgot about them. They worked perfectly for the cowboy theme. I attached the horseshoes with screws. The rusty star is actually a nail…so attaching it was easy!

how to distress painted furniture

No furniture project is complete without using an electric sander. They don’t call me the “Queen of Distressing” for nothing. I like to use the electric sander when doing a lot of distressing because it takes less work and is much faster than doing the sanding by hand.

this ain't my first rodeo cowboy themed furniture

I have a video where I painted a dresser with Beyond Paint in Pewter. See it below……

    I really like that you bought a bunch of horseshoes from eBay and used them to make a cowboy-themed dresser! My daughter is really into cowboys and horses and things like that, so we’ve been looking at some cheap ways to decorate her room. I’ll definitely try that.
