Old White Bedroom Set with Keyhole Knobs


After finishing this bedroom set in Old White Chalk Paint® , I see why it is our number one selling color at Loot.


One of our customers came in Loot and asked me if I would be interested in looking at her mother's furniture.  This set was a part of what I bought from her mother's estate.  The original finish was old and well-worn.  We decided to make it look fresh and beachy by painting it with two coats of Old White Chalk Paint®  and using a scrubby sponge to distress the edges.


After distressing the piece, we finished with a clear wax.



 The bedroom set included this darling, petite night stand as well.


We replaced all the hardware with vintage style, key-hole knobs in aqua.  The knobs have a distressed look, which pairs nicely with the rubbed-back white on the dresser.


Old White Chalk Paint®  has a beautiful warmth to it, while still looking like a true white.



The third piece in this bedroom set is a vanity with little caster wheels.


We painted the vanity with Old White Chalk Paint®  as well.


 We reupholstered the chair with a vibrant floral fabric.


We replaced the hardware on the vanity with green, vintage-style, keyhole knobs.


The distressed, metal knobs coordinate well with the worn, white paint finish.

Pink Dream Bedroom


This little girl's dream bedroom was created with mostly vintage furniture that the family chose to salvage, rather than buying new.  This dark stained desk and mirror, were brightened up with a couple coats of Pure White Chalk Paint®.  The brass hardware was changed from gold to silver with gilding wax.

You can see the other sister's purple dream bedroom, the family's chesterfield sofa painted with Chalk Paint®, and their dining room, also transformed with Chalk Paint®.


The vintage nightstands had lost their charm, but were still functional with three nice size drawers for extra storage.


Nancy and I painted the pair of night stands with Coco Chalk Paint® and silver gilding wax for the handles.  Coco is a pretty complement with the pink bedding.


We also painted this tallboy dresser with Coco Chalk Paint.

After Nancy and I finished painting all the pieces of furniture, her mother put it all together to create her elegant pink and Coco dream bedroom!

Purple Dream Bedroom


Nancy and I helped create a little girl's dream bedroom in purple and white.  Last week I showed you the sofa we painted with Chalk Paint® and the dining room makeover, now we are moving upstairs to the bedrooms.  Later this week I will show you the other daughter's pink dream bedroom.


They had vintage, waterfall style furniture pieces that needed to be transformed to complete their youngest daughter's dream bedroom in their brand new home.


We painted the waterfall nightstand, trunk, and dresser with Old White Chalk Paint® and made a very thin wash with French Linen.  We succeeded at matching the finish of the beautiful bed that they ordered from Restoration Hardware.


We applied pewter gilding wax over the previously brass drawer pulls on this tallboy dresser.


Our client found this cute little desk for her daughter's bedroom and we decided it would look lovely with light purple drawers and new crystal knobs. We painted the desk with Old White Chalk Paint® and used Emile mixed 50:50 with Old White on the drawers.


The daughter was overjoyed with her new purple and white dream bedroom!
