Refinish old furniture for a new look.
When you think of Martha Stewart, images come to mind of attention to detail, a love of calmness and order. Colors are subdued but not boring. Occasionally you'll see bright wall coverings and accessories. Nature plays a big role in the Martha Stewart look, but that doesn't mean luxury and comfort aren't part of the equation. Bring that feeling to your bedroom.
Unusual Bedroom Furniture Refinishing
A matching bedroom set is so not Martha Stewart. She prefers furniture to look like it goes but doesn't match. Take a good look at your bedroom furniture to see if some, or one, of the pieces would look better in a different color or finishing. An unusual furniture refinishing technique is ceruse, which involves staining the wood a very dark color and then forcing white wax into the grain. The wax contrasts with the dark color. The finish is finalized with a coat of water-based sealer.
