Wash Stand Makeover,

I felt like this sweet little yellow washstand was cute enough as it was, in its mustard yellow state, but it had been in my store for a bit and didn’t sell, so I brought it home to rejuvenate it!

I asked my followers what color it should be and of course there were tons of ideas, but I wanted to stick with a color that would maybe fit into more homes.

Let’s Get Started!

I started by sanding the whole piece with my Dewalt sander.  Just a light sanding over the whole piece to give the new paint something to grab onto, and a little more time spent on the edges where I would be distressing it later.

Next I just cleaned it up with a wet rag and let it dry.  Once completely dry, I gave it a coat of Dixie Belle’s “Caviar”.  I let that sit overnight and then put on a second coat.

After the second coat was good and dry, I went over the places that I wanted to be distressed, with the sander again.  Once I had everything distressed how I wanted it, it was time to wash it down again and let it dry.

The last step was sealing it with Dixie Belle’s clear coat in satin.
