PINE FURNITURE ~ A Bit of Color!

These days it seems pine is not the preferred wood for furniture.

Pine pieces at my shop don't sell well, like this dresser with mirror by Lexington.
It's such a nice dresser, but there has been no interest.

That's the one, behind the little Christmas tree...

Recently I came across this hutch by Colony and I fell in love!

It has such pretty lines and there is so much storage space in the bottom,
so even though it's pine, I brought her home.

I like pine and these pieces are in great condition,
so if I were keeping them it would be hard for me to cover them in paint.

But, they are for sale so I brought them home for a makeover.

To keep the pine from bleeding through, I painted this piece with one coat of Zinsser Shellac…

and then two coats of AS Country Gray.

The dresser already had a good coat of shellac,
so I just painted it with two coats of AS Pure White.

Both pieces were finished with clear and dark wax and are now at the shop.

Here's a closer look at the detail...

Two painted pines...do you think they look better?

 

How about you, like pine furniture?

Thanks so much for visiting, please leave a comment so I'll know you did!

Blessings,
