RachelLorraineHome's DIY Collection on LTK

DIY

By RachelLorraineHome

This is a collection of some of my favorite tools & products for our home & furniture projects!

Before & After! ✨ One of my favorite ways to bring character into our home is by giving older, quality furniture a fresh new look—like this campaign-style Drexel dresser I refinished for our boys’ room! Also check out the custom beds we build & painted for their room next💙😉

If you have a dresser that could use a refresh, this ‘dipped look’ is a fun way to give it a modern twist!
Steps below 👇🏻😃

I refinished this by stripping the previous stain off the top and re-staining it with a custom stain mix. Then, I taped off the bottom two-thirds, primed, and painted it. After removing the tape, I top-coated the entire dresser. 💡Tip: Apply some topcoat along the tape line before painting for crisp tape lines!

Supplies Used: • Stripper: Klean Strip Premium • Paint: Inkwell from @wiseowlpaint  • Stain: Custom mix • Topcoat: Varathane Water-based Poly in Satin @varathane  • Hardware: Cleaned and lightly sprayed with @rustoleum Metallic Gold spray paint

If you have a glass door or window that could use a little extra privacy, this reeded glass window film from Amazon is such a great (and budget-friendly!) solution. It applies with just water, is easy to adjust, and can be removed without damage. We used it in our laundry room so that when the door is closed, the mess stays out of sight from the kitchen—such a simple fix that makes a big difference! It’s also currently on sale!

Painted to look like wood!

I love using this painting technique to make wood or other materials look stained! 🎨✨ It’s perfect for paint-grade woods that don’t stain well or for materials that aren’t wood but need that natural wood look.

Here’s what I used:
🖌 Base Coat: Sherwin Williams Pro Classic (satin) in Behr “Rugged Tan”
I usually prime first, but I skipped it this time since this paint has some built-in primer qualities. However, if you're painting furniture like dressers, I highly recommend priming first to prevent bleed-through and help with adhesion.

🎨 Glaze: Rustoleum Decorative Glaze in Java Brown
🔹 Application: Brush or spray on the base coat, then apply the glaze with long, smooth strokes using a deck staining brush to create grain lines.

For extra texture, I got creative—I used a Turtle Wax cleaner brush I found in our garage! 😂 But a whisk broom works just as well.

Finally, I sealed everything with my favorite topcoat: Varathane Water-Based Polyurethane (satin sheen). 🔥

Using my Wagner Flexio 5000 to paint the beds for our Crate and Barrel inspired bed build. I absolutely love using a paint sprayer and this has been a great one

This deep burgundy Rustoleum spray paint is the perfect color for fall 🍂 I used the color claret wine in satin and sprayed these live Nandina branches. The look was a deep, rich red to bring the feel of fall indoors. Not all branches will dry well but these thankfully did

This epoxy putty from Kwikwood is so handy for DIY projects! I’ve used it to replace missing trim, it can fill hardware holes and can fill deep gouges in furniture. It’s also less than $10 on Amazon!

My favorite paint sprayer! This Wagner sprayer cuts the time you spend painting in half plus the finish is so smooth & professional with no brush or roller marks! ✨🙌🏼

This Dixie Belle Scrubby soap is my favorite product for getting paint off my hands! One side is a like a scrubby sponge & the other is a citrus scented special soap that removes paint, oil, dirt & grease 🧼🫧 I love a citrus scent 😄🍊

Adding a beautiful, vintage floral wallpaper like this one from Amazon to furniture drawers adds such a beautiful touch. ✨

I love this elegant peel-n-stick wallpaper in this freshly, refinished antique buffet. I also added a keyhole cover to because one of the keyhole’s was missing its hardware
