After I painted over the navy blue walls in my dining room to neutralize, I was surprisingly sad. I didn’t know how emotionally tied I was to my blues. So, I had a brainstorm! I’ll paint the dining room furniture blue!!
Here’s the before:
The table and chairs were hand-me-downs. The burgundy armchairs and china hutch were Craigslist buys. I love a good deal! All were lovingly used A LOT!
I took the doors off the hutch, replaced the glass shelves with wood, replaced the awful gold foiled wallpaper in the back of the hutch to beadboard wallpaper I found at Lowes. Whoever invented this wonderful thing has got my vote!!! I’M LOVIN’ IT!!!
I sanded each piece with 200 grit sandpaper, painted two coats of Valspar Precious Sapphire paint, then polyurethaned with three coats. I felt like I had a paintbrush stuck to my hand even when I wasn’t painting anymore! Pouty face. But I’m loving my blues!!
I love it and your creativity! We are almost ready to start spraying our master bath fixtures. Hope our results are as good as yours! Great job! The Lauffers miss you all!
