Warm Grey Nightstand Makeover
Natalie from A Ray of Sunlight chose Rocky Mountain to restore the beauty in this pair of end tables!These poor end tables were beaten and bruised when we came across them. The finish was scratched and completely missing in some areas. Thankfully we were able to fix them up quickly with a little bit of Country Chic Paint's Rocky Mountain Furniture and Decor Paint.
Because the old finish was really chippy I grabbed some 220 grit sandpaper and sanded the tops and shelves of each of the tables to smooth out the uneven finish. I just wanted to erase and blend the edges of the chippy finish so we would get a smooth finish.
Once everything was wiped down with a damp rag I painted on the beautiful warm gray paint known as Rocky Mountain. It only took light coats to get complete coverage!
The edges all received a light distressing with some 220 grit sandpaper. To give the end tables a little bit more of a sheen, as well as added durability, I sealed them with a topcoat.
The transformation was so quick and painless! It's amazing what a small amount of paint can do!

Hello! My name is Natalie, and I am the owner and creative mind behind A Ray of Sunlight. I have always loved anything to do with crafts, so it only seemed right when I started my career in painting and refinishing furniture. Growing up my parents taught me how to create, imagine the possibilities and transform things with a bit of work and paint. I wanted a career that would enable me stay home with my baby girl, and furniture does just that. Thank you for following along on my adventures of up-cycling and bringing light back to old outdated pieces.
