Before Gahh!

There was a time in my life that I loved tans, browns, browns, and more browns... They make me angry now!

Sprayed it with a black primer from Krylon and then Rustoleum's Deep Blue Gloss

Krylon Primer in black and Rustoleum
Universal Paint and primer in one--Carbon Mist is the color.

After

The stencil was tough. I printed out the numbers on Word and the used an exacto knife to cut them out. Taped them to the can with electrical tape and dabbed white paint with a small paint brush. I did have to even up some blobs with a Q-tip...

Doorknobs and hardware

A few coats of black primer, followed by ORB and a poly to finish it up.

Oil Rubbed Bronze (satin) from Krylon is the final color.

Refinished nightstands

Painted (MISTAKE!)

Finished -stained new hardware

I inherited my dear Aunt Theresa's bedroom set about 10 years ago. 2 nightstands, 2 dressers, headboard and vanity from the 1950's. They have seen storage units, 3 or 4 moves and were desperately in need of a facelift. So here they are BEFORE and AFTER. I made the MISTAKE of painting one and HATED it. So I had to strip it down back to the original wood and finally re-stain it. Purchased new hardware and a protective glass top to protect the beautiful wood.
