Coffee Bar Makeover

coffee bar makeover with paint

Ever since we made over the dining room, I have wanted to give this little coffee bar a makeover. Lucky for me, for June’s Monthly DIY Challenge we partnered with FAT Paint Company, and a quick paint job is exactly what this piece needed.

Materials Needed:

• FAT Paint in the color ‘Greysful’
• FAT Wax in ‘Antique’
• paint brush
• 1×2 boards
• wood stain

First I painted on two light coats of Greysful.

After that dried thoroughly, I buffed on the wax with a rag. This not only adds an interesting, aged look, it also acts as a sealer.

Next, I cut the wood boards, stained them, and nailed them to the top of the coffee bar.

I love how it turned out! The gray really helps to break up all the white in the room.
