The Lowboy Is Complete!!
Look!! It's done!! Finished!! I'm in love!!
Such a pretty little piece we keep our phones and chargers tucked away. It's handy right in the family room hallway.
So... Looking back:
Adding AS "Creme," "Louis" blue and "Versailles" pale green.
Examples of the painted layers and distressing. |
I wore my little sanding mask and cleaned the floor and table with a wet rag. |
Painted the drawer pulls Creme and then sanded for that aged look. |
The hallway with the new, improved Lowboy! |
All done!! What do you think??

Dad's little shelf
It's just particle board painted black. Nothing fancy but it could live on the wall in our TV room to hold a speaker. I used some metallic paint, lightly dabbed onto the surface with a paintbrush.

I'm stuck on the Lowboy. Help!!
Here is the Lowboy that has lived in every room downstairs. It is brown with brown faux leather inserts on rage drawers and sides. I'd like to keep it in the family room but add a little style.
My first try at beautification was ASCP in Old White on the wood trim. I added a little distressing.
The top and inserts got a burnt sienna wash.
Below is where Mr. Lowboy is leasing space in the hallway through the family room.
Here is an example of the Old White/Creme with sandpaper distressing and ASCP Cocoa in the grooves.
Going crazy, I covered the top again in Olde White. Still blah. So I brought out the sandpaper and went a little wild. Interesting but it now has that "side of the old barn" look.
To be continued...
