Welcome to Furniture Flip Friday! Today, you're diving into a fun and easy DIY project—flipping a French-style nightstand using Beyond Paint. If you're new to furniture makeovers, don’t worry—Beyond Paint makes it simple, even for beginners. So, let’s jump in and get started!
Picture this: a charming but slightly battered French nightstand, complete with dings and small imperfections. It might look like a lot of work, but with Beyond Paint, you don’t have to worry. This all-in-one paint covers up those flaws beautifully, making it your secret weapon for quick, professional-looking results.
Prep Work? Minimal!
First things first, it's time to prep the nightstand. But here’s the great news: you won’t be sanding, stripping, or priming—Beyond Paint eliminates all that hassle. All you need to do is grab some Simple Green or another cleaner and wipe down the piece. That’s it! You'll be saving time and energy while getting ready to transform your furniture.
Time to Paint!
Now comes the fun part. You'll be using the color "Nantucket" today—a soft, coastal-inspired hue perfect for a French-style piece like this. With Beyond Paint's thick, pudding-like consistency, you can say goodbye to drips and streaks. It glides on smoothly, especially with the 3/8-inch microfiber roller. This little tool is perfect for covering larger, flat surfaces, like the top of your nightstand, with ease.
Don’t forget about the detailed areas! When it comes to those tricky curves and creases, the two-inch brush from the Beyond Paint toolkit is your best friend. It allows you to stipple into those hard-to-reach spots, making sure every inch of your nightstand gets an even coat of paint.
A Little Goes a Long Way
After the first coat, you'll already notice how well the paint is covering the surface. The finish looks smooth and even, and the imperfections that once stood out are now practically invisible. Once the first coat dries, it’s time for coat number two. And guess what? You’ll rarely use any paint. With Beyond Paint, a quart can go the distance—you could easily tackle 10 more pieces with what’s left!
Finishing Touches
With the nightstand looking sleek and polished, all that’s left is the hardware. You’ll want to preserve the classic French style, so spray paint the original hardware gold to match its former charm. Once everything is back in place, step back and admire your work.
The results? A gorgeous, refinished French nightstand, and no one would ever guess there were dings or imperfections. The finish is flawless, and the Beyond Paint color "Nantucket" gives the piece a soft, timeless elegance.
