My Grandest Second Hand Furniture Makeover

February 20, 2019 · By Diane Henkler · 262 Comments

I have not one, but two very special second hand furniture makeovers to show you using Country Chic All In One Paint.

I have very exciting news to share with you today.  News that I have been waiting many years to be able to announce.  I am excited to be able to add another name to my titles of Diane, Sister, Aunt, Author, Friend, Mom, Wife, Blogger... and in few weeks… Grandmother! 

My oldest daughter who got married last year and her husband are expecting a baby girl in late March. :-) XO

To prepare for her arrival, when Ed and I were in Virginia spending the holidays with both our daughters, I helped Kelly start decorating the baby’s nursery by painting a second hand changing table.

They had purchased this Eddie Bauer changing table at their local ReStore. It was it great shape, but Kelly wasn’t fond of the color.

She is decorating the nursery in a white and lavender color scheme. She was going to paint it lavender, but when she asked my opinion, my “experienced mom brain” kicked in and I told her to paint it white. This way if she has a second child, (which they want) and it’s a boy, she won’t have to repaint it to fit a boy’s room color scheme.

I told her we could use lavender paint other pieces that would stay in the baby’s room as she grows. When I got home, I did just that… keep reading till the end of the post to see what I painted lavender.

Kelly decided white would be great for the changing table and to use lavender and white decorative paper or fabric inside the fronts of the drawers to hide the contents.

3 colors of Country Chic Paint on top of table

Back in the fall, Country Chic Paint sent me a few samples from their line of paint line to try out along with their oval paint brush. I am new to using oval brushes to paint furniture, but they have become my go-to since I painted the sideboard in my foyer. Game changing in how much easier they make it to paint a piece of furniture and achieve a smooth finish.

I like to try different brands of chalk and furniture paints to see if one is better than the other. I have tried and posted about many and have even made my own DIY chalk paint. I have been happy with all the paints I have used.  They are all good. I think what you choose comes down to liking the paint colors the line offers and how much you can afford to spend.

Country Chic Paint is an All-In-One paint where minimal or no sanding is needed. It is a clay based paint that is similar to the finish of chalk paint with superior adhesion.

On their website, you can see the selection of paint colors all of which contain little-to-no VOCs along with the other products that will assist in all your furniture painting projects. I like that they offer 4 ounce size jars. These make it very affordable paint when you are painting a small item or want to sample a few colors before making a color choice.

Since I knew the colors Kelly wanted to use, I ordered the colors Simplicity for the changing table and Mermaid’s Tail and Tribe to mix to create a color of lavender for another piece. To seal the paint, I went with their Natural Wax which is clear.

I prefer the look and feel of a waxed finish, but the paint can also be sealed with poly or their Tough-Coat product.

Second Hand Furniture Makeover Using Country Chic All In One Paint

I set up the table for painting, cleaned and gave it a light sanding.  You don’t have to sand when using Country Chic Paint, but I always go over every piece of furniture I make over with 100 grit sandpaper on a sanding block. A quick 5-minute going over can’t hurt and will only help with adhesion.

Both coats went on super smooth. I let the first one dry, ran sandpaper over it, and cleaned the sanding grit off and then applied a second coat. As you can see that second coat is still wet. That is how I left it since I ran out of time.  Our holiday visit was over and Ed and I had to head home.

I wanted to do more, but living 6 hours away kept me from finishing it.

Once the paint was dry, Kelly finished it with some distressing and added a layer of clear wax that she buffed to a subtle sheen.

The next time Ed and I visit, this changing table will be in use. :-)

I will get an “AFTER”  photo of it then and will add it to this post, perhaps even with a cute little granddaughter in the photo.

How to Mix Furniture Paint to Get a Custom Paint Color

Doll high chair before getting a second hand furniture makeover with Country Chic paint.

Back at home in January, when I was Marie Kondo”ing”  as I cleaned out the attic, I came across a doll size high-chair that both my daughter’s played with. I kept it all these years for one reason… for grandchildren to play with.

Did it bring me joy? YES!

Now was the time to give it a colorful makeover so it can be used to hold a doll or stuffed animal in the nursery. It also brought me joy in the fact that I could be helping Kelly get the nursery decorated even from afar. This high chair can be easily transported to Virginia in my car.

Small high chair before

I decided that I wasn’t going to buy anything new to make it over, but only the Country Chic paint and supplies I had on hand.

The chair is made of particle board and very porous, but with a mix of the paint, a teeny bit of craft paint, ribbon and nailhead trim I am very happy with how it came out.

Can You Mix Paint Colors to Make a Custom Color to Paint Furniture?

Country Chic paints

Most furniture paint brand’s paint colors can be mixed together to create custom colors. This is also the case for Country Chic paint. It is fun to mix colors to come up with a color that is right just for the piece of furniture and your personal color preference.

Mixing two colors of Country Chic Paint

To make the lavender color Kelly wanted, I mixed together a half cup each of the colors, Tribe and Mermaid’s Tail.  It came out as a very elegant and subtle lavender which was very pretty, but I knew it wasn’t the color Kelly was using.

Mixing two colors of Country Chic Paint plus purple iris

To give the color more “pop” I added  one teaspoon of purple craft paint to the mix and stirred it well… voila!…. the perfect lavender color paint for the nursery’s color scheme.

Note:  When adding craft paint to a chalk or clay based paint, you can only add a little. If you add too much you can change the qualities of the paint. I am not afraid to experiment and knew by added a teaspoon to one cup of the Country Chic paint mix I made would not change much, only the color.

I cleaned, sanded, painted and waxed to seal the chair. The paint covered the textured particle board beautifully, but the chair still needed something to give it some character. I went to my craft supply armoire in my studioffice to find something to use and found ribbon, silver furniture nails and white thumb tacks.

How to Use Furniture Nails and Thumb Tacks to Create Nailhead Trim

Adding nailhead trim is pretty easy to do when you have a kit that helps you attach all the nailheads in a nice even line. I didn’t have a kit and made my own nailhead trim using furniture nails and thumb tacks.

Furniture nails also called nailhead trim

supplies needed:

  • Ruler or measuring tape
  • Pencil
  • Furniture Nails
  • Thumb Tacks
  • Hammer
  • Ribbon
  • Scissors
Adding nail head trim to the edge of furniture.
  1. Wrap ribbon around the edge where you want the nailhead trim. Use tape to hold it on while you add the nails.
  2. Place a ruler along the edge and using a pencil or pen, mark increments all along the ribbon. Center the marks on the ribbon. I placed the silver furniture nails – 1″ apart.
  3. Place a nail at each mark and use a hammer to drive it into the ribbon and wood.
  4. Once all the silver nails were in place, I hammered white thumb tacks in between each.
Fiskars staple gun for crafting

I really wanted to use this lavender and white striped ribbon under the nails, but it was too wide for the edge of the seat. I used it instead to hide the wood section right under the seat where it fit perfectly. I used a staple gun to attach it.

Furniture nails, tacks and striped ribbon added just enough to give the little high chair a new life in the room of my first grandchild.

The particle board surface still has a few rough areas. Normally I wouldn’t paint something made where particle board is exposed, but the paint did a great job of covering it.

Now the chair is just waiting for a car ride to Virginia when Ed and I go meet our first granddaughter. I can’t wait!  XO

    What a nice quality piece of furniture (the changing table) made even more beautiful by the white chalk paint! I love it. Agree with you – white paint was the way to go. It’s so nice that you had that little baby doll high chair and were able to transform it with that beautiful lavender color and trim. Very nice. See that oval brush I may take another crack at chalk painting.

    Diane, Congratulations on your soon- to- be status change! This happened to me four years ago with the birth of twin granddaughters. What a joy! You will not believe what I brought down out of our attic. A wooden doll size high chair that I played with when I was a little girl. It looks very similar to yours. I cleaned it up and now my granddaughters play with it and usually have a stuffed animal or doll baby sitting in it waiting to be fed!! They love it and I am so glad we were nosing around because I totally forgot that it was up there. I would never have believed that someday another generation would enjoy it as much as I did! Enjoy every second of the days ahead. Prayers for Mommy and baby.

    I like the color Nighhtfall — it looks grey with a touch of blue. I can imagine it on a piece of furniture. I look forward to your blog & check every day — hard to wait for the next one.

    WOW! Love all the colors. Difficult to choose. I choose Crinoline. I’m looking for a slight blush color or a vey pale lavender. I may have to mix, so I really appreciate your “experiment” results. Bookmarked the page. My painting will begin when the weather allows me to work in the garage without either myself or my paint freezing.

    Thank you for all the wonder tips and ideas.

    I like peacoat. It is a beautiful dark blue or navy blue. I have a 1950s chest that is thirsty for this color. Peacoat would bring the chest alive from a mahogany color to a color that would blend awesomely with the green room in which it is located.

    Love what you do!

It will be set up in our pink spare bedroom for when she visits. So much excitement here! I also have a doll high chair nearly identical to the one you painted lavender and that has inspired me! Can’t wait to see pics of the finished nursery with your new grandbaby in residence!

    I really like Dune Grass, but I also like Lazy Linen. Would probably have to choose Lazy Linen to paint a piece of furniture (OR A MIRROR FRAME!) though, because Dune Grass looks so much like the wall paint in three of our home’s rooms. Maybe that’s why I like it too!. ;o)

    CONGRATULATIONS, DIANE. I am not a grandmother (or mother), but my twin sister and younger sister are! I am obsessed with their grandchildren, but I have always been obsessed with their children so it makes sense. What makes me very happy is that my four nephews and nieces who don’t have children yet now understand my obsession with them.

Our grandson considers our son to be his “bonus daddy”. Boy did I have a hard time deciding a color!

Final decision…Simplicity to redo a curio in my foyer…the first thing you see when you enter my home. Other pieces will come later. Thanks so much for the giveaway!

The color swatches on the site looked dark, but when you click on them they are much prettier colors on the furniture! Thanks for the chance to win the giveaway.

Your advice on the crib color was spot-on if they want more children. The paint giveaway is lovely and I especially like the color Rustic Charm.

My two oldest granddaughters now have babes of their own, and the third one is in high school now, but I still relish the memories I have when they were growing up and close enough for Grandma to babysit a lot. I still miss those days. I truly believe one of God’s greatest gifts to us is our grandchildren.

    I had such a difficult time deciding between “Peacoat”, “Midnight Sky” and “Jitterbug” that I finally settled on “Full Bloom.” Say what! The truth is it is a struggle to pick just one color. They are all incredible.

    So this time I am picking “Full Bloom”,” though next time it might just be “bliss.”

    Becoming a grandmother is not in the cards for me, not for now, at least, but I’m so happy when I see other people becoming proud grandparents.
    And nice work on the high chair!
    By the way, I found a great WebSite selling great personalised fabric, wallpaper and wrapping paper. They’re not cheap, but I think it’s so great to have something printed just for me and with natural inks too! The site is called “Spoonflower.com” and it’s American. But I’m sure you already know it, right? : )
    You can even design your own pattern and have it printed by them.

    Congrats on getting ready to become a grandma! I have 3 now but sadly they are in Washington State and I’m in Indiana so I only get to see them at least once a year in person, sometimes on Skype if they will stand still long enough on screen. They still get spoiled even from a distance but not as much as I’d like.
    So many pretty colors but I’m in a blue phase right now so I am leaning towards Jitterbug for something a little different than the usual blues.

    CONGRATULATIONS on your new title! I am a “Mimi” to six grands and love it…..3 boys almost grown and 3 little girls, 2 of which are identical twins. Absolutely love your “Grand” makeover which is so perfect for that little girl. Now you just need to find the perfect doll or stuffed animal to sit in the little chair. Let the fun begin!

    Congratulations to you! How very exciting that you’re already helping make your grandaughter’s nursery in “her own style!” Also, I love the color vanilla icing in the country chic line.

      Hi Diane,

      Congratulations on your upcoming role as a Grandma, Nana, or name of your choice. I appreciate you and what you are bringing to the blogging world of DIYing. The color I like for my next project is Midnight Sky for a new entry console table. I do have a question about the round brush you used? What about it makes it better? Thanks,
