Mary Paint All Over My Bedroom


I wasn't happy at all with my bedroom, it was too dark. During quite a long time I was thinking how to change it. The first thing I wanted to get rid of was the black. The headboard had a black leatherette.


After some research I decided to paint it with Mary Paint. This paint doesn't need wax or varnish.

 

And this is the result:





I painted with the same paint the leatherette, the lamps and the picture frames.


And the Ikea Hemnes shoe cabinet:


This paint does not leave the brush strokes!

Giving Ikea Furniture a New Look with Chalk Paint Autentico


After using Fleur Paint for my baby girl furniture, I decided to paint the Ikea Hemnes Nightstand. It was a black-Brown table that we used in the living room next to the sofa. We had just changed most of the living room furniture from dark brown to white and some kind of grey...  So that table needed to be painted.

I decided to try Autentico chalk paint, because they will send me by mail six paint samples. So I asked for my samples and then I made my online order.

The paint I used for this Ikea table was Elephant Grey on the top and Antique White and finnished it up with a dark wax.


Here a close view:

It was great working with this chalk paint, after this we (my four year old boy and I) used it to paint several frames.

Love,
