Iconic Lane Brutalist set, but SO much damage!
From painted-over despair to a brutalist dream. These Lane Staccato beauties were a labor of love: ā¢ Chemically stripped and scraped (yes, even dental tools were involved!). ā¢ Repaired corners with wood epoxy and replaced damaged veneer with new veneer. ā¢ Stained with Hickory gel stain by Varathane. ā¢ Sealed with Osmo Polyx hard wax oil. ā¢ Toned the fronts with Mohawkās toner in medium brown to match the new veneer. ā¢ Applied a final coat of matte polyurethane to tone down the shine.It was a journey, but the result? Totally worth it. Swipe for the beforeābecause no masterpiece comes without its challenges! #RestorationLifeā #FurnitureRestoration #BrutalistDesign #LaneFurniture #BeforeAndAfter #DIYRestoration #WoodworkingLove #InteriorStyling #MidCenturyModern
This Hack Changed EVERYTHING! šš
Welcome to Part 5 of my office makeover using a IKEA Billy Bookcases hack My first step was painting an old Pottery Barn Bedford desk in the same color I am using for the entire project - Intrigue by Benjamin Moore. Itās a moody blend of gray and green. I love muddy colors. They are so much easier to live with. In Part 2, I painted my IKEA Billy Bookcases. See my previous reels for all the details! In Part 3, I secured the bookcases to the wall using a 1x2 drilling into studs in the wall and then screwed down into the bookcase. In Part 4, I added molding to the bookcases to beef them up. I added a piece of hardboard to the sides to cover the seam between the bookcase and its extension. Then I added base molding and a small trim to cover the gap between the bookcases and the wall. I preassembled the crown molding and nailed it on. In Part 5, I painted the wall the same color as the bookcase for a color drenched look. I was then ready to start on adding picture frame molding on the wall and well, they make it look easy. Itās not. Angles, bevels, oh my! Back to Lowes for more molding. š¬š«£Follow along for the full reveal.#ikeabillybookcases #ikeahack #potterybarnbedford #intriguebenjaminmoore
Iām working on a bar cabinet and there is veneer damage on the curved area on the sliding drawer that goes underneath the top. I have to take the top off in order to address the damage. Iāve actually never taken the top off a piece. I started by locating the screws and removing those. Then I grabbed my steamer to loosen the glue holding on the top. The top and sides were coming loose, but the back was still tight. I felt under the lip in the back and there were three screws hidden that I didnāt see so I removed them. I continued with the steamer until it finally came off. Whew š° Now I can move on to stripping the whole piece and trying to figure out what to do to fix the veneer. Stay tuned! #furniturerestoration #barcabinet #furnituremakeover #diy
I love faux bamboo. This dresser was a little rough, but the design elements were there. I had a ton of fill to do before I could prime and paint. Here are my steps:1. Clean with a degreaser2. Scuff sand with a high grit. 180 or 2203. Clean detailed areas with liquid sandpaper in case the sandpaper didnāt reach those spots. 4. Fill all scratches and dents with Bondo glazing putty. 5. Sand smooth and tack. 6. Prime first coat. I used @icro_coatings Italian coating for the first time. Oh la la, it was fabulous š¤©7. Sand, fill any additional areas, caulk drawer seams with @dapproducts , tack. 8. Second coat of primer. 9. Sand and tack. 10. First coat of paint. 11. Sand and tack12. Second coat of paint. 13. Done and dusted ā
I bought the ICRO paint through @hartley_group @icro_coatings_usa The sample was 416 primer and 5000k paint in a 10 sheen which was a lovely matte. I donāt say this lightly when I say this is the best paint Iāve ever used. #paintedfurniture #furnituremakeover #diy #furnitureflip #fauxbamboo #fauxbamboofurniture
I love Brutalist style furniture and this is the first set Iāve ever worked on. I got them from my local furniture friend, Sabina. There was tons of damage on one of the doors, but I replaced the veneer and used some toner to blend in the different wood tones. I settled on a matte finish and I LOVE it! What do you think?

I love my paint sprayer. Itās an all metal gun and gives a great finish! The link is in the comments #howtopaintfurniture #spraygun #paintedfurniture
Welcome to Part 1 of my office makeover! My first step was painting an old Pottery Barn Bedford desk in the same color I am using for the entire project - Intrigue by Benjamin Moore. Itās a moody blend of gray and green. I love muddy colors. They are so much easier to live with. I had previously painted this desk with Fusion Mineral paint. I love Fusion paint, but it didnāt hold up on this desk while my son was using it. I found a more industrial paint called Command by Benjamin Moore. It dries rock solid and is fabulous for high traffic areas. It dries so fast that I was getting a little texture in the finish, so I added some Floetrol on my second coat to slow it down a bit and it was smooth as butter! I love campaign furniture, so I found some metal accents that I painted my favorite gold and added them to the desk to make it look like a campaign piece. Next up, the bookcases!

I love caster wheels on furniture. There is just something charming about them. These were pitted out and desperately needed to be replaced. I found some replacements and after disassembling the old ones I figured out how to replace them. Super simple upgrade and the vintage look of the new caster wheels mades them look like them belong to the piece. #antiquefurniture #casterwheels
