DIYers, weekend warriors, and home makeover enthusiasts—get ready for a quick and easy furniture flip that will take your old, outdated pieces from drab to fab in no time! Today, we’re diving into an exciting one-day upcycling project using Beyond Paint, a game-changer for furniture painting. If you've been looking for a way to refresh a tired nightstand without all the hassle of stripping, sanding, or priming, then this is the project for you. Grab your microfiber roller, your favorite Beyond Paint color, and let’s get started!
Step 1: Prep Work—A Clean Canvas is Key
Every great project starts with proper preparation. First, remove all the hardware from your nightstand—this includes knobs, handles, and any decorative elements that might get in the way. Next, give the entire surface a thorough cleaning using a degreaser. This step is crucial, as it removes oils, dirt, and wax buildup, ensuring that the paint adheres smoothly and evenly. Skipping this step might lead to poor adhesion, and we don’t want that!
Step 2: Choosing the Perfect Color
Today, we’re going with Sage, a serene and stylish shade of green that brings a fresh, modern feel to any space. It’s versatile, soothing, and just the right touch of color to elevate your furniture without overwhelming the room. The best part? You can grab this gorgeous shade at your local Lowe’s, making it even easier to bring your vision to life.
Step 3: Applying the First Coat
Now for the fun part—painting! Using a 3/8-inch microfiber roller from the Beyond Paint Toolkit, we’re applying the first coat. One of the standout features of Beyond Paint is its self-leveling formula, which means no roller marks or streaks—just a smooth, professional finish. No matter the direction you roll, the paint dries evenly for a flawless look. Say goodbye to brush strokes and hello to a perfect, uniform surface.
Step 4: Let It Dry & Work on the Hardware
While waiting the standard 2 to 4 hours for the first coat to dry, let’s give the hardware a little makeover of its own. A quick clean and a coat of spray paint can breathe new life into old knobs and handles, making them look brand new.
Step 5: Second Coat Magic
Now that the first coat is dry, it’s time for the second. This is where the magic happens! Two coats are all you need to achieve full coverage, and you’ll see just how well the paint adheres to the surface. The transformation is already incredible, and the best part? There’s no need for multiple layers or endless touch-ups—Beyond Paint gets the job done quickly and beautifully.
Step 6: Reassemble & Admire
Only a couple of hours after the second coat is applied, the surface is dry to the touch. Now, we can reinstall the freshly updated hardware, and just like that, our nightstand is complete. What was once an outdated, dull piece is now a stunning, modern focal point—all thanks to Beyond Paint.
