Turned this outdated brown old side-table into a fresh Beachy whitewash piece
Remove old varnish. This takes time and patience. You need to strip the timber back to bear
Add an undercoat to the frame, then paint the frame white. For the side pannels, only undercoat, no need to top coat
Measure and cut superfresco breadboard paintable wallpaper so that it fits into the side panel frame. Fit wallpaper into the frame with wallpaper glue


Paint the wallpaper white and add silicon sealing around the wallpaper in order to insure no lifting
For the table top and draw fronts, rub a small amount of feast Watson
lime wash with a rag until you get your desired whitewashed look
Add timber handles, which I also used the lime white wash to match the draw fronts and table top
Really beautiful upcycle @naz1!
I really like how you used the Superfresco easy paintable beadboard wallpaper to create some lovely, subtle detailing. It never ceases to amaze me how transformative paint can be. Did you use a standard white for the paint?

Yeah just a standard acyrlic paint. I know right! Paint can really transform almost anything 😊
