We wanted to give this pine antique blanket chest a new soft boho look.  For this makeover we chose to refinish it in the colour Wisteria Row.  A very soft lavender perfect to add style to this plain chest.

 

 

Here's what you're going to need for this project:

• Fusion Ultra Grip
• Fusion TSP Alternative
• Fusion Clear Wax
• Fusion White Wax
• Round paint brush
• Sanding block

Step 1 - Prep

To prep our chest for the paint, we cleaned the entire chest with Fusion TSP Alternative which we diluted with water.

 

After drying, we scuff-sanded all over with a sanding block and wiped it clean.

 

Step 2 - Mixing

We mixed up our milk paint and let it rest for about 10 minutes. We then added Fusion Ultra Grip as we like a sleek finish with no chipping.

 

Step 3 - Paint it Beautiful

We applied two coats of Wisteria Row paint and boy does it look good!

 

Step 4 - Finishing

After drying, we lightly sanded over the dried paint to smooth out any bumps and to achieve a soft butter finish.

 

We then sealed our chest with Fusion Clear Wax.  We also strategically went over certain details with Fusion White Wax for a very subtle look.
