My project started with an old bedroom set. The set consisted of a chest of drawers, hutch and dresser. They had seen lots of wear and had many dings, scratches and dents. I began by coating the "body" with a watered down mixture of latex paint in celadon green. |
|
I taped off the drawer fronts that would be later stenciled. The watered down paint was applied and then "partially removed" using a wide dry paintbrush (use a rag to keep the excess paint from building up on your dry brush). The underlying original grain (and color) will shown through. The nicks and dents I left alone. These picked up more of the paint for added texture! |

With the original wood drawer fronts, I stenciled the same square pattern repeated in the quilt. I mixed paints to match the colors and used the natural wood as the "brown" found in the quilt. This made the stenciling really fast! |
