We have been so excited to share this full before and after with you all! This was our first time working on so many pieces at once for the same space and we were very excited for the opportunity to help transform this master bedroom.
It all started when my friend reached out to us and asked if we would be able to redo some end tables for her. She was looking to update the modern, dark espresso look to a rustic whitewash wood finish. Once we were done, her and her husband were really happy with how they turned out and how it gave the space such a whole new look. So, when they asked if we would be up to refinish all the furniture in their master bedroom a few months later, we happily agreed. She mentioned that while their current furniture was still in excellent shape, her taste had changed over the years and she wanted to lighten things up, just like we had done with the end tables.
I dropped in one day after work to speak with her and her husband, to determine how they wanted each piece to look. While they wanted the pieces to compliment each other, they wanted to get away from the current look of all the furniture being too matchy matchy. The final decision was to do the same finish for the bed and nightstands and then carry that same look onto the tops of the dressers. The bases on two of the dressers would be white and the third done in a light gray. Also, we agreed to paint some of the existing hardware and then they picked out new hardware for the dressers and nightstands.
We applied our custom rustic whitewash wood finish to the sleigh bed, nightstands and dresser tops. Then we used white and gray chalkpaint for the bases, sealing it all with a poly. The finishing touch was painting some of the old drawer pulls and then adding the new hardware. The transformation is really incredible and shows that you can transform the look of a space, using the furniture you have, without having to go out and buy everything new.
