Rust-Oleum Furniture Transformation Kit- Coastal Desk Refresh

Coastal Farmhouse· DIY· Paint· Product Review· Rust-Oleum

1 Apr

I am always willing to try new products and this furniture transformation kit from Rust-Oleum was a hit.

**This post contains affiliate links, which cost you nothing extra, but help me to continue doing cool projects. I was also given this product to try, but the opinion is my own**

I have been blessed with a few free roadside finds in my time, and this cute little desk did not disappoint.

The Rust-Oleum Furniture Transformation Kit is pretty much all inclusive. Only things missing were the gloves and the brushes you would need.

Not pictured is the stir sticks, scrubbing pad, and cheese cloth.

Fist things first, I removed the arms that extended out from under the top. Then it was time to paint.

Step 1 Deglosser

Using the enclosed scrubber pad I wiped the whole piece down with the deglosser. When that was done, I wiped it off with a damp rag. The instructions did not say anything about sanding, which made me a little nervous since the original paint was a gloss sheen.

Step 2 Base Coat

Rust-Oleum Night Fall Blue

The paint already came tinted for the product review, but you can choose from an array of colors and have it tinted at the store. The back of the box shows the colors available. This is where I got a little nervous since I was going from a bright white piece to a very dark navy.

Even though it bubbled a little, everything settled as it dried.

I was actually quite impressed with the coverage, even with the first coat. The second coat was more of a touch up than a complete cover. I will say, there were some fumes with this paint, which is why I’m glad I painted outside. It did take a little bit longer than normal to dry completely between coats. Normally the weather places a factor, but on this day, there was zero humidity.

The base coat was absolutely gorgeous, but the best was yet to come!

I was very pleased once I was finished and how well the base color covered. I loved the richness and it was definitely a true navy and not a dark royal blue that so many paints favor.

Step 3 Decorative Glaze

Since I needed to test all the aspects of the kit, the next step was the decorative glaze and my most favorite part of the project. This is where you can decide to go as light or as heavy with the stain as you would like.

The decorative glaze really added dimension.

I love how the glaze gave the piece a richer look. I am very happy with how well it all came together.

Step 4 Protective Top Coat

After 8 hours of dry time for the glaze, I was time to add the protective coat. I did find that you really had to make sure that you got all the drips. It goes on opaque and dries clear, but if you have a glob, it will dry a glob.

Step 5 add a new drawer pull and enjoy.

I found the perfect drawer pull at Hobby Lobby to give a pop to this piece. I am thrilled with how the Rust-Oleum Furniture Transformation Kit turned out! I loved how easy it was to use and the quality of the product.

Have you tried a kit before? If so, what did you think?

XOXO,

Brooke

Instagram post 2193080010342969376_17963546 I’m fairly certain the ceramic Christmas trees with the plastic colorful ornaments, would be the equivalent of Rae Dunn in the 70/80’s. Either you made one or we’re gifted one, but it seemed like everyone had one. I never did find mom’s, but when the girls pointed out the tiny ones, you better believe my heart did a happy dance. Today on the blog I’m sharing our fun and colorful living room.
Instagram post 2192539252041114477_17963546 I cannot wait to show you our living room all decked out for Christmas! 🎄We mixed it up from where we put the tree, to the colors, and it’s giving me a nostalgic feel.  What’s your favorite childhood memory around the holidays?
Instagram post 2191802849103509097_17963546 I’m sort of glad Kelsey talked me into not putting doors under our sink just yet. It’s been fun to change out the curtain for the seasons.  What’s something new you did with your Christmas decor? #sinkologyvibe
Instagram post 2190913546731277843_17963546 Christmas was my mom’s favorite holiday, which I’ve been dreading. Then we saw Frozen 2, twice (don’t judge) and the song “Next Right Thing,” ugh,  right in the feels. We needed to decorate, if anything for my girls who want some sort of normalcy too. “When it’s clear that everything will never be the same again
Then I’ll make the choice
To hear that voice
And do the next right thing”
Instagram post 2189655229115611250_17963546 Im all about updating my Christmas decor, but this momma is on a budget. Would you believe that the pillow cover and pictures in the frames are actually gift bags? And the reindeer head is from my front yard? Do you have any other budget friendly decor ideas?
Instagram post 2187537564209222734_17963546 I’m not gonna lie, today felt like a day off with a lot of food and not really Thanksgiving. But we definitely made the best of it and made memories. Worked out, lots of food, naps, met up with friends, and even snuck in some shopping. I am so so thankful for this community and the friends I’ve made. Getting through the last few months was only made possible by my little family and friends like you. Thank you for lifting me up. Love to y’all!!
Instagram post 2185995560715205069_17963546 Apparently these kids can’t wait until Thursday to eat... rude😜. While I’m waiting for the fancy Mac n cheese to cook, I wanted to tell you I’m working on the kitchen final (ish) reveal. I also wanted to give a sneak peak at one of the design liberties I took. Can you guess what it is?? The final projects are a new cooktop and new counters, hopefully in the next year.
Instagram post 2185233146088269745_17963546 We should be getting ready to pack up and head to Ohio for Thanksgiving, but we’re not. My mom would tell me to save some room in our car so we can take Christmas presents back with us, but this won’t happen either. We’re starting a new chapter this holiday season we never expected. Today I’m sharing my thoughts on how to navigate moving forward and living through the holidays after loss.
