Are you ready to give your nightstand a fresh, coastal look without the hassle of sanding, stripping, or priming? Today, we’re flipping a Nantucket nightstand using Beyond Paint in three simple steps. Let’s get started!
Step 1: Prepping the Nightstand
The first and only prep step we need is to clean the nightstand. You can use Simple Green or Zep degreaser to remove any dirt and grime. With Beyond Paint, you don’t need to worry about sanding or priming. This top-of-the-line formula includes a bonder, primer, and sealer, making it easy to achieve professional-grade results on any surface, even glossy ones.
Step 2: Applying the First Coat of Beyond Paint
For this project, we’ll be using Beyond Paint in the color Nantucket, a cool and coastal blue perfect for a refreshing update. Begin by using a brush to stipple the hard-to-reach creases and corners. Then, use a microfiber roller to fully cover the rest of the nightstand. The microfiber roller helps ensure a smooth and even application, allowing the paint to bond seamlessly with the surface.
After applying the first coat, allow two to four hours of drying time. This waiting period ensures the paint properly adheres and sets before applying the next coat.
Step 3: Applying the Second Coat of Beyond Paint
Once the first coat is dry, it’s time to apply the second coat. Use the same method: a brush for the creases and a microfiber roller for the larger surfaces. This second coat will enhance the color and provide a durable finish.
While waiting for the second coat to dry (another two to four hours), you can take an optional step to elevate your nightstand further. Spray paint the hardware for a cleaner, more polished look.
The Final Result
After four to five hours of total project time, including drying periods, you’ll have a beautifully refinished Nantucket nightstand. The Beyond Paint formula ensures a professional-grade finish with minimal effort and paint.
