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

Yes, they are great for decorating!
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.
ah, thanks Megan!
Thanks Kathleen!
Thank you Lori!

I am usually very impressed with all the makeovers, however, THIS one sends me to the moon and back!!! I don’t think the color could have been anything but this. I just love the whole thing! The horseshoes and rusty star add the are the grand finale!!!!
This is the PERFECT dresser for a boys room! I love the color. The horseshoes and rusty star give it a hint of flair! I wish that I lived closer to you so I could visit the booth in your shop. You have amazing makeovers!
