Balayage Painted Furniture Technique You Have To See!

This Balayage Painted Furniture Technique was inspired after hair! We went from full paint coverage and gradually distressed this converted media console for a unique rustic paint finish! Learn our painting technique with this easy DIY furniture tutorial!

I'm WAY overdue for a hair style change so I've been looking at different women's hair styles lately and I'm finding myself gravitating more and more towards getting some blended balayage coloring. "Why, you've already got chalk paint in your pony?" Ha! You're so funny... ;)



While I'm busy finding a really great hair stylist I thought I'd try my own hand at a little balayage furniture painting. ;)

DIY Painted Furniture Makeovers

We can't wait to share this next furniture makeover with you! If you've followed us for any length of time you know that we are big proponents of altering furniture when it makes sense. We're firm believers that just because a piece for furniture starts out as something doesn't mean it has to stay in its original state. If it's not functional, if it looks outdated or doesn't fit your decor, ALTER it! You can easily update your furniture by painting it, adding legs, taking off doors, adding design elements or simply just re-thinking it's purpose. Today, we're going to share some examples of DIY painted furniture refinished with all of these in mind!

Painting Furniture With Chalk Paint®

I saw this old chunky hutch in our local Craigslist ads. After a little bit of back and forth negotiating I had myself a vintage hutch loaded into our truck. I didn't need a hutch (isn't that usually how it goes?), but I decided that the bottom part of the hutch had the perfect dimensions to be converted into a media console. I couldn't wait to get my hands on a paint brush and some chalk paint® with all of those fabulous carvings!
