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

This week not only was spring break for my girls, This week not only was spring break for my girls, but also the anniversary of my mom’s passing. I repotted the plant I kept from her funeral and already it looks so much better. I’ve been trying to keep busy with spring cleaning, purging, and packing, but apparently life didn’t feel like that was enough. Last night we had a trip to the Emergency Vet after Jojo came in contact with weed killer, you can see her resting on our bed. Needless to say it’s a little slow and quiet today while she rests and we watch her.  Besides that and all that’s going on in the world, it’s so hard not to be in a giant funk. What’s your plans for the weekend?? I need to get some great ideas to turn this struggle bus into a party boat!
We started packing today, which means projects at We started packing today, which means projects at this house are coming to an end. Truth be told, this is the house where Cribbs Style was born. I’ll forever be grateful for all the lessons I learned in every project. Most of all, the confidence to learn and work all my power tools, which I owe to @ryobitoolsusa and @havenconference.  Nothing brings me more joy than answering questions or teaching another person about tools. They’ve been the gateway to my future. 💕

Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memor Grief is such a tumultuous journey. Facebook memories are a double edge sword. 10 years ago and 2 years ago this very week, both of my parents were handed a cancer diagnosis. My father lived for another 14 months, my mom only 3 weeks. Last year we had planned to be away for the one year anniversary of my moms passing, but instead a pandemic had other plans.  It’s all taken a toll on me mentally and physically. At times left me very unmotivated and completely distracted.  I’ve learned to give myself grace and each day is another opportunity to have a fresh start.  But y’all it’s hard. So if you see me dip in and out, that’s why. Most days my focus has just been on Court and the girls and that’s all I got. And that’s ok, but I also like to keep it real.  I know we all go through bad times, hard times, but I’m here to tell you you’re not alone and I see you. All the love. 💕

If I didn’t do this space myself I would argue this isn’t even the same place. 🍀
