Welcome back today, we're excited to talk about how to give a fresh look to a simple storage cubby using the versatile and easy-to-use Beyond Paint products.
Prepping the Piece
Before diving into the painting process, it's crucial to prep your furniture properly. For this project, we’ll be cleaning the storage cubby thoroughly to remove any dirt, grease, and grime. A good clean with Simple Green or Zep Degreaser will do the trick. Remember, thorough cleaning is the only prep step you need when using Beyond Paint.
Why Beyond Paint?
One of the standout features of Beyond Paint is its all-in-one formula. This paint includes a bonder, primer, and sealer, which means there’s no need for stripping, sanding, or priming your surfaces. This time-saving feature makes it ideal for quick and efficient DIY projects.
Choosing the Color
For this project, we’re using the color Pewter, a deep steel gray that adds a modern and sophisticated touch to any piece. You can find this shade at your local Lowe's.
Tools You'll Need
Beyond Paint offers a comprehensive toolkit that includes:
- 3/8 inch microfiber roller
- 2 inch brush
- Paint tray
- Beyond Paint brochure
These tools are specifically designed to help you achieve a smooth and even finish.
Painting Process
- First Coat: Begin with the 3/8 inch microfiber roller, applying the paint in any direction. Thanks to Beyond Paint's self-leveling agent, you'll get a smooth finish without roller marks.
- Drying Time: Let the first coat dry for two to four hours.
- Second Coat: Apply a second coat using the same roller. Typically, only two coats are needed for full coverage.
- Final Drying: Allow the second coat to dry for another two to four hours.
The Result
And there you have it—an easy, one-day furniture flip! The Pewter color transforms the storage cubby into a stylish and functional piece. The ease of use, quick application, and excellent coverage make Beyond Paint the best choice for your furniture, cabinets, countertops, and other DIY projects.
