I have been working hard on my family room update. I would love to have it done before Thanksgiving so I can take pictures for the reveal before I decorate for Christmas. Fingers crossed that can happen!
Here is the latest project for my family room.
A long time ago I built two cabinets for extra storage. I painted one red and heavily distressed it. I built another one and painted it blue for my boys.
The red one was in my family room. But I did not want to paint it because I ADORE it and want to put it in another room later on. So I put it in the boys room and painted the blue one instead.
I wanted to paint it white and then sand it to distress it. But I did not want the blue paint to show when I sanded. So I painted it dark brown first, then painted it white. I used a very fine grit sandpaper (220) to sand it in certain places to make it look old and worn.
Now that it is done and in place I can’t wait to start hanging things on the wall above it!
This looks fantastic! xoxo
Gorgeous!
What a fabulous piece!! :) Love it, have a great week! xo Holly
That came out great, and I’m impressed!
I’m not sure I could have such controlled aggression with my distressing. I really get into that part! lol
Beautiful! I love how you distressed it!

Looks good! Great idea of painting the dark brown undercoat to allow for the distressing.
I have a small dresser I use in the living room as an end table I’m about to refinish. I finally selected & bought the paint color to use (bright yellow: Dunn Edwards, Lemon Punch). But still deciding if I’m going to distress it, glaze over top, or just paint modern update. So many choices! I am eyeing some cute orb decorative pull I might add to it! :-)
Very nice job! Love it!
What a great transformation Stacy! Love it!
Beautiful!!! Great job as usual! You always go the extra mile, such as painting it brown so that the blue wont show through, and I love the heirloom white!
A thing of beauty!
Looks fantastic!
