Updating Vintage Nightstands With Wallpaper & A Blended Finish

- If there is an inexpensive pair of nightstands on the marketplace, I’m going to try my best to scoop them up. They sell really well and are usually a pretty quick flip. These were no exception. A bit of prep, some wallpaper for inspiration and I was ready to roll. I hope you all enjoy these as much as I do.

Chalk Mountain Colors
The base was a mix of Light Khaki/ Pebble Beach, Patina Green, Indigo, and a bit of Devonshire Cream. Then I blended a bit of Patina Green as well as Goblin Gray to add a bit of interest. I added some Shimmer White and Silver Glazing Dusts mixed with Satin Poly to shimmer things up a bit. Then fully sealed in Satin Poly.

They are so elegant Taryn 😍 loved the blending...always love your blending techniques. Thanks for sharing
Thank you, Sarah! And thanks for throwing some inspiration my way!
They turned out just lovely. The colors are beautiful and have me longing for spring. With the paint, paper, and topcoat they are probably better quality right now than they were when they were new! Beautiful.
Thank you, Judy! I’m glad they brought you feelings of Spring!
They are beautiful and up scale. You do such wonderful work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and showing mistakes and repairs.
Have a wonderful day.
Thank you, Martha! And you’re welcome. It’s fun taking you all along with me in the process.
these are beautiful Taryn... yes Sarah's piece is amazing too.... they are both very calming and chill
Yes! Calming is a great descriptor! Thank you!
Stunning! Very subtle but so pleasing. Love the wallpaper.
Thank you, Gail!

Thank you, Ondina! I appreciate that so much!
These nightstands turned out so beautiful & refreshing looking. Your blend is gorgeous & the shimmer & gold just made them so elegantly pretty. You literally transformed them from drab & heavy looking to pretty, dainty looking & gorgeous 💖💞💝💕💖
Thanks, Lindsey! I love that you think they are refreshing. That’s exactly what I think when I look at them. Much different than my typical style, but I’m not sad about it. Thank you for always being here, leaving comments and watching my videos. I really appreciate it!
@@elegantupgrades Oh Miss Taryn, I wish I could do more to support you cuz I just truly love who you are & think you’re so creatively talented.

Those nightstand really look good I like them you done a beautiful job on them I got some ideas from you to do my nightstands I want the vintage look
I’m so glad you got some ideas, Arlene!
It was awesome watching your video and just hearing you interact with us about each thing that kept happening and so forth. They turned out beautiful.
Thank you, Tina! I try to include as much as I can in such a small amount of time. I know sharing the struggles can be just as important as the things that go smoothly- at least for me.
Darling little nightstands! Love everything you did with them. Well done!
Thank you very much!
When I first seen the wallpaper design.. I though… oh wait.. Sarah just did a piece with that, that was beautiful.. then u plugged Sarah at four forty five… I just love her!!
Yes!!! She’s incredible!
I love the color of night stands
Thanks, Kathleen!
Love. Love. Love.
Thank you, Danielle!!!!
Beautiful! You cannot go wrong with this wallpaper print and that base color! I saw Sarah's and was speechless. You are so talented in making colors... the color was amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Sophia! Yes, Sarah’s piece was stunning!
I thought I recognized that paper. I watch Sarah too. They look nice.
I’m so glad you watch her! She’s so great.
Gorgeous as usual!
Thank you so much, Jennifer!
Lovely, Taryn! I watched Sarah also and ordered that paper. So pretty with the green!
Ah! So glad you ordered the paper! You’ll have to let me know how you used it, Moranda.
I just picked up a set of MDF nightstands that I’m planning on painting black with some decoupage. It will be my first time trying decoupage and I’m thinking this will be a good one to try it with since it’s something smaller. Fingers crossed 🤞 for me that it turns out! Great job, I love your blending technique 💕
That’s so exciting, Angie! Please let me know how they turn out!
Hi Taryn….As you were narrating I was lol because even in the struggles you speak so lovely and let us all know it will be fine…..I would have love to have been a fly on the wall when that last bleed through popped up 🙊 I would not be able to be as graceful as yourself! I’m laughing because i can’t write what I really want to say…think you know what I mean…non the less the night stands turned out beautiful🌟 I love the custom blend color and I did see Sarah do her piece….and that paper is gorgeous….I can see how it would have inspired you…as always thank you for sharing😊kim
Hahaha! I may have been a little upset upon seeing the belated bleed through 😂
When life gives you lemons(funky mister bottle) make lemonade! That's what seperates the successful from the unsuccessful.😉
🤣 Love it! I will conquer the mister bottle one of these days!
WOW. Amazing
Thanks, Christie!
Love love love that paper as well! They are beautiful and will sell fast I’m sure.
It’s so pretty and fresh! I’m glad I saw Sarah use a similar one. I’ll probably be putting the rest of it in a lot of drawer bottoms.
So pretty!!
Thank you, Kim!
Trying to decide on how to do my nightstands and headboard, love the color you mixed, but think I'll decoupage
Decoupage is my go-to. I feel like it just lasts forever.
These still have your sparkle and flair even if the piece is a bit more modern. Love them! They feel like springtime and have a romantic feel. Know what you mean about the hardware. Hmm. What about a small green or white knob that let's the escutcheon and paper take center stage?
Ohhh, I hadn’t thought about anything other than another gold option! I have a few white knobs already in my stash, I’ll have to see what that looks like. You’re the best, Jenn!
I love how they turned out! It is hard to believe that they are cheap paper/particle board! B~}
Thank you, Brenda!
I would call your style more OTHERworldly rather than oldworldly. Everything you paint is magical!
Love the color you mixed! Chalk Mountain should put it in their lineup. I’m sure those pretty nightstands will get snatched up quick! (Although I do agree with you about the knobs. They look more like borrowed earrings as opposed to ones that belong there. If you get my drift… Lol!)
I seriously love your comments, Lizza 😂 They DO look like borrowed earrings! And thank you, I like the sound of otherworldly.
Lovely ☺️
Thank you, Julianne!
Very pretty!
Thank you, Carol-Ann!
Considering it's particle board with a big wood pattern label in it, it's a good base for peel n stick... 💚
I agree, Liz. Those were kind of my thoughts on trying it out.
Pretty nightstands and I do love the color you chose. I imagine that this painting style sells very well, but I do love it when you push the limits using many techniques, colors, and materials to come up with a 'one of a kind' statement piece. Sadly, I have not sold any pieces I have painted because I just haven't bothered to market them. I wish someone else would take care of that part of my business plan so I can spend what limited time I have being creative....
Yeah, the fun artistic finishes always take a bit more time to find the “right buyer” for me. They will have the most interaction and comments, but crickets when it comes to an actual sale. And while there aren’t any other nightstands similar to these in my local market, the simplicity of them does sell quite a bit faster. And let’s be honest- it’s nice to clear out space to make more room for something that will speak to me.
@@elegantupgrades Thanks for your input. Good to know that the simpler the better as far as selling. I do love your work and admire your talent. I'd buy one of your 'Art' pieces, it is like buying a painting to add drama to a room.
Lovely
Thanks, Rosa!
Beautiful
Thanks, Caroline!
When I use peal and stick, as I peal I use spray adhesive to make sure it bonds and holds well!!!
Oooooo!!!! Kelley! That is a fabulous tip. I will definitely give that a try. Thank you!
Taryn, I’ve been buying straight up mica and mixing with poly for colors you can’t buy anywhere else! I’ll admit, I went a little nuts with it in the beginning but the results are unique!
I bought that after seeing Sarah’s video too!
Wow, sorry! Wasn’t focused enough, but what about those gold round knobs with the thumb grab underneath!
I actually have mixed in loose makeup pigments in some finishes!!! It’s all the same stuff. SO SO cool! I love that you bought the paper as well! It’s so lovely. And I’ll have to check those knobs out and see. I’m just not completely happy with them currently. Thanks for the great ideas!
Your way of painting is great have you ever done kitchen cabinets? Thanks for the channel
Thank you, Debbie! I have done them, but I’ve only sprayed them. Doing an entire kitchen would be a bit daunting if I didn’t spray.
Gorgeous 💚🤍
You are the best! Thanks for making my morning with all your comments, Kim!
@@elegantupgrades Thank you for always showing and providing awesome pieces and informative videos 💜💜
So nice.......!!! I'm curious what Poly topcoat do you recommend? I just discovered you today...
I’m a Chalk Mountain Brand Ambassador so I use theirs. But my go to before finding them was Varathane.
Nightstands are so pretty and so subtle in color. They could be used with any decor. A little leery about peel and stick wallpaper, but you would know better if the wallpaper can hold up. Should have read all that you have on the site, Taryn, as I could have used your fifteen percent! Next time!
Thank you! Yeah, I have been leery about it as well. But I tried taking every precaution and I’ve been constantly pulling the drawers out and pushing them back in and haven’t seen anything trying to come up so I think it will be just fine. I will say, I still prefer it for drawer liners and a decoupage for anything that would get consistent use. Aw man- definitely next time ☺️
I love your work!! Your layers and washes and extras are amazing!! I must say though- I am not a fan of this grey primer. I used it once and had bleed through just like this - after the entire piece was completely finished!😫 I just tried it again and same thing!! I’m going back to my shellac based primer even though it’s harder to work with.
Thank you, Diane! While this is my favorite primer, you’re right, it doesn’t stop all bleed through. So in cases where I know it will be a problem I will spot treat with spray shellac. Then I still have no cleanup and the smell dissipates much faster than using it on an entire piece. I usually only have issues with it on really tough pieces like mahogany, but this was a weird case.
@@elegantupgradesgood to know! I have an entire gallon of water this primer! Do you spot spray with shellac before or after? Does it matter?
I’ll spot spray before on areas I know for sure will bleed, like if I sanded through a finish or something. And when there are times I know I will be doing 2 coats I’ll spot prime after the first where there is bleed through and then have a consistent finish on the second coat. I don’t love painting directly over shellac so I try to make sure the paint goes over the primer. Wow, I hope that actually made sense 😂
@@elegantupgrades thanks for your help!!
Very pretty.
Thank you, Susan!
Very pretty
Thank you, Gail!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Beautiful !!! Need help ... A tornado .
Oh my! Are you receiving tornado warnings? I have a friend in Texas who was getting them yesterday. I hope wherever you are, you are staying safe.
How to paint a tornado with blending ??? Lol
Oooohhh! Whew! 😅 I haven’t painted a tornado so I don’t think I could be of much help. But if I was going to- I’d do a YT search for other people who have done it and take bits and pieces from their techniques to make them work for myself. Sorry I couldn’t be more help. I’m just learning how to paint actual scenery.
Thank u ...I love your work ...trying to do wizard of oz when the tornado took Toto and Dorothy away for grandson I will keep u posted on how I do .Thanks again
OH. MY. GOSH! That sounds AMAZING!!!! Please please let me know how it turns out!!!
I think if you changed the base/legs, it would've looked more elegant. You did an amazing work by the way. I just see it looking way more upscale with new base/long legs like glass/clear maybe and it would've looked really expensive. Anyways, jus a suggestion. I still like what you did
Thank you, and I can see what you mean. New legs would have been lovely.
Very nice, however, for my taste, the keyhole is too much as it distracts from that lovely and unique drawer pull.
That very well could be. The top drawer hardware situation has been glaring at me. I feel like flicking it in the knob.
The bar know was not a match at all but the overall peice is beautiful.
Those are faux oak,if they were real oak ,you should not paint them.
I love the paint and the gold, not sure about the wallpaper and double handles though xx
Ugh, those top pulls are still staring at me… But I adore the wallpaper so overall I’m pleased with the result.
