I got this campaign headboard a couple months ago with a bunch of other campaign pieces.  For a while now I have been curious about Americana Decor chalky finish paint so I decided this was a good little piece to try it out.  By the way this is not a sponsored post nor did I receive this product for free.  I bought it at Home Depot because I see it there by the paint mixing booth all the time and it's cheaper than it's competitor brands.

The paint is supposed to adhere to just about any surface with out sanding or priming.  I removed the campaign hardware and cleaned the headboard really good and applied the first coat of paint with out doing any other type of prep work.  No sanding and no priming!  I bought the Americana Decor in Carbon which is a nice, rich, black.  The paint went on smooth and dried quickly however I waited until the next day to apply the second coat.  The paint had good coverage but after the second coat I could still see some of the wood color showing through in some spots.  I really liked the way that it looked so I did not opt for a third coat.

The paint looked very matte and I loved the way it looked but I needed a top coat.  The website says you do not need to apply a top coat but I feel more comfortable giving my furniture a little extra protection.  I waited until it dried and applied Minwax paste finishing wax because I already had it on hand and I did not feel like spending extra cash to buy the Americana wax.  The last step was to use some elbow grease to buff the piece and give it a little sheen.  I usually clean up the hardware but these were still nice and shinny, so I left them as is and put them back on the headboard and that's it, I was done.

I love how the campaign headboard painted with Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Carbon came out.  The paint itself isn't bad, I did light coats so there's no heavy brush marks.  It had good coverage and adhered well with out the need for extra prep work.  I only used about a quarter of the 8 oz jar I purchased and it cost me about $9.  Overall it was nice to work with it and I'm glad I have a lot left over to use in another project.

Kitchen Cabinet Makeover Reveal

Finally, I'm going to share the kitchen cabinet makeover reveal!  It took us a lot longer than we expected to get this done. But we are finally putting the paint brushes and the rollers down.  At least until we recoup from all the unplanned painting we did these past few weeks.  We didn't have a plan for this or a budget because it wasn't in the cards to do this project just yet.  I don't know if you recall from this  post but this all started because I wanted a cup of tea .  First I just wanted to do a quick reorganization, then I started  pulling off contact paper , next thing you know I'm removing doors and  stripping paint off the kitchen cabinets .  We didn't think things through we just went with it.  Before we had clumpy, flat painted ugly cabinets.  I'm not exaggerating, you can see for yourself here .  Whenever we would clean a them the paint would come off because they were not primed.  They were painted with a flat, cheap paint that would absorb s

Lining Shelves With Contact Paper

It all started when I wanted to drink a cup of tea!  Now what does drinking a cup of tea and lining shelves with contact paper have to do with each other, you ask!  Well the cabinet was overstuffed and when I reached out for the tea box, it and other miscellaneous stuff fell out of the cabinet.  I thought to myself, while the water for my tea simmers I can quickly empty out the cabinet and reorganize it, it's just a small cabinet it wont take more than 5 minutes, right?  Wrong, wrong, wrong! I emptied it out and the contact paper that was put there by one of the previous owners was hanging in the front and I decided it was time to pull it off!  Well, once I pulled it off I remembered why it was still there in the first place.  When we first moved in, I went to remove the contact paper from one of the other cabinets and there was another paper underneath it that was torn around the edges and I tried to remove it but that thing was super glued.  I decided it was a job f

Best Home office Simple Design Ideas Near Me

Our new house has a spare room that we use daily to enter the house and where we greet all of our visitors since it is our main entrance.  It quickly became a catch all room where we would just dump everything we didn't want to deal with at the moment.  That was a really big problem and it was stressing me out.  I wanted to turn it in to a home office space and create a  functional entryway.  I wanted it to be beautiful and reflect our style and I needed to spend as little as possible. After pic my desk area Planning my desk area I knew what I wanted to do, I was just so overwhelmed that I didn't know where to start.  So I made a list (I always make a list) and got to work. To make the entryway functional we needed to add hooks for jackets, handbags, etc, etc... and a bench to take off our shoes.  We already had a few pieces we planned to reuse in this space.  In our previous home we had purchased a shoe cabinet from Ikea that has served us well and was in perfe
