Jewelry Station and a Giveaway

Last week, I shared the reveal of Juliette’s beautiful new bedroom {it’s here if you missed it}, and I promised I’d come back with a few more photos of the old pink dresser that got a makeover into an elegant jewelry station.

This is what the dresser looked like when we started the project:

It was good quality and very sturdy; it just needed a makeover.

I pulled out my Rust-Oleum chalked paint in Country Gray {available here} and my new FinishMax Extra and got to work.

I’ll have more details about working with the FinishMax Extra paint sprayer next week on the HomeRight blog, but basically, the biggest difference between this machine and the previous FinishMax is that this one comes with a variety of spray tips, which means that you don’t have to thin your paint!  We’re giving a FinishMax Extra away at the end of this post, so be sure to scroll down and enter.

The Chalked paint also goes on beautifully with a brush, if you’d prefer to paint that way or are covering a small area.  One thing I always do when working with chalk-type paints is take my can to the paint store and ask them to shake it before I begin my project.  There’s so much chalk (duh) in this kind of paint that it can settle to the bottom in between uses.

I used two light coats to cover the pink.  Oftentimes, you can achieve single-coat coverage with chalk type paint, but it depends on the colors that you’re using.

I did finish off with a coat of clear wax, rubbed on with a cloth.

The last touch was to change out the hardware–what a huge difference that made!  If found the crystal and gold pulls at Hobby Lobby (be sure to wait to buy them when they’re 50% off!) for about $3 each.

Juliette’s thrilled with her jewelry and accessory station; I love how it turned out, too!

For more information on the FinishMax Extra or Chalked Paint, I’ve linked to the product information pages.  Or, feel free to leave me a comment with your question.

Your giveaway is below–good luck!
