We all have that piece of furniture that no longer quite fits in with the new decor. This Pier One piece is about 20 years old and is Asian inspired. So with a little plywood, paint sticks, paint and hardware, this little beauty got a facelift.
Supplies
MinWax Polycrylic Protective Finish
HomeRight Super Finish Max Power Paint Sprayer
Sand paper, 120 grit
Paint Sticks, 5 Gallon
Miter and Table Saw
1/4 inch plywood
Wood glue
Staple gun
HInges and knobs
NEW PANELS
- I removed the black hardware
- I filled the holes left from the hardware using DAP Wood Filler. After the filler dried, I sanded to a flat surface
- I measured and cut pieces of plywood to fit into the side and back panels of the piece. I used the table saw for this. Using wood glue and staples, I attached the panels to the cabinet. (I need to buy clamps.)
- I measured and cut the paint sticks to the correct width to fit into the front door panels. I used wood glue to attach the paint sticks. I set some paint cans on top while the glue dried.
PREP FOR PAINT
- Lightly sand the piece using fine grit sand paper to better allow the primer to adhere
- Clean the piece using TSP
- Let dry
PAINT , PRIMER and POLY
Apply primer, paint and poly using paint sprayer. Let dry between each coat. I applied one coat of primer. Three coats of paint (because of the color) and three coats of poly. Applying each coat is very quick.
HARDWARE
Reattach hardware!
