How To Upcycle Furniture Using DecoArt Chalky Finish Paint Project
A chalk painted upcycled dresser makeover to an old school dresser that was quality made but sore on the eyes using chalky paint from DecoArt.
Equipment
- Paint brush
- Foam brush
Materials
- DecoArt Chalk Paint, I used 2
- Polyurethane
Instructions
- I started by taking the dresser apart. Removing the hardware from the drawers and setting the drawers aside from the dresser.
- Clean dresser and drawers. I just used a cloth and wipe it down. There was a lot of dust.
- Apply the first coat and allow to dry. Chalk paint dries really quickly. It only took about thirty minutes for it to dry.
- There was one part that needed repair in the corner, so I glued and clamped it before doing my second coat.
- Apply second coat.
- Once all dried, cover/top with wax or polyurethane.
- Reassemble all the pieces.
- Add new hardware. (if you choose)
