DIY Closet Hack with Fusion Metallic Paint in Bronze & a Patterned Paint Roller

19/4/2018

0 Comments

 
This is my sad and tired built-in wardrobe. On a whim I decided to give it a glamorous makeover using what I had on hand.

The paint was in good enough shape, certainly not worth repainting, but it was just so blah...

I'm a firm believer that Fusion Metallic Paint makes everything better.

And Bronze? Bronze is an discovered gem of a colour. It doesn't get heaps of attention, but really delivers impact.

​Metallic paint goes a long way, I started this project with half a pot — and ended this project with half a pot!

Along with the bronze metallic, I used one of our currently-being-closed-out patterned rollers.

​
We have very limited numbers of these left...and I'm more than a little devastated about this. Get the last of them while you can. As you will see by this project and others, they provide immediate impact!

Here we go! 

I rolled straight over the existing (very shiny!) paint. I wanted a vintage wallpaper look...not uniform and solid but a bit faded and worn. Confession time....It took me 3 or 4 tries to get it started correctly. It's a slippery, tight, slick surface and the roller slid off to the side the first couple tries.

I used a wet cloth to wipe away the mess each time until I got the feel of the roller against the shiny painted wall.  It's much easier when working on furniture, horizontal surfaces or even floors or walls!

Before starting I quickly  and roughly measured about how many roller widths would fit across the back of the wardrobe wall. I marked the roller itself so I always started rolling from the same position. I went crooked here and there, but it's a wardrobe and the pattern will mostly be "peeking through."

On a last minute whim I also painted the timber hanging bar. I was excited to put everything back together, but  eventually I'll add a second coat of paint and Tough Coat Sealer to the hanging rod

This was such a fun and easy project — and I every time I open the doors to this wardrobe I cannot help but smile. I found all the accessories online, mostly on sale, the hangers are from the UK because I couldn't resist the colour! I feel a bit like royalty now and it's made getting dressed an absolute pleasure.
