Materials Needed: Side Console Dixie Belle White Lightning Cleaner Dixie Belle Weeping Willow Chalk Paint Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax (Clear) Dixie Belle Chocolate Chalk Mineral Paint Dixie Belle Retro Lattice Stencil Dixie Belle Coffee Bean Chalk Mineral Paint Dixie Belle Synthetic Paintbrush Clean, lint-free cloths Before You Begin: Ensure that your side console is clean and free from any dust, dirt, or grease. If necessary, sand the surface lightly to create a smooth painting surface. Step 1: Clean with White Lightning Use Dixie Belle White Lightning Cleaner to thoroughly clean the side console. This will remove any lingering residues and prepare the surface for painting. Follow the instructions on the cleaner, and make sure the surface is completely dry before proceeding. Step 2: Paint with Weeping Willow Stir the Weeping Willow Chalk Paint well before use. Apply an even coat of Weeping Willow paint to the entire side console using a paintbrush or foam roller. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat if needed. The chalk paint dries relatively quickly, but follow the recommended drying time on the product. Step 3: Apply Best Dang Wax with Chocolate Chalk Paint After the Weeping Willow paint has dried, use a clean cloth or brush to apply a layer of Best Dang Wax (Clear) over the painted surface. For added depth and dimension, mix a small amount of Chocolate Chalk Mineral Paint into the wax. Apply the wax mixture evenly, focusing on details and edges. Allow the wax to dry and buff it to a desired sheen using a clean, lint-free cloth. Step 4: Stencil the Top with Retro Lattice Secure the Retro Lattice Stencil to the top of the side console using painter's tape to prevent it from moving during the stenciling process. Using a brush or foam roller, apply Coffee Bean Chalk Mineral Paint over the stencil, ensuring even coverage. Carefully remove the stencil while the paint is still wet to reveal the pattern. Allow the painted design to dry completely. Step 5: Finishing Touches Inspect the entire side console for any touch-ups or additional detailing. If needed, apply extra coats of paint or wax to achieve the desired finish. Once satisfied with the results, allow the piece to cure fully according to the paint manufacturer's recommendations. Step 6: Enjoy Your Upcycled Side Console Place your revamped side console in its designated space and revel in the transformation. The combination of Weeping Willow, Best Dang Wax, and the Retro Lattice stencil has turned a simple side console into a unique and visually appealing piece of upcycled furniture, adding charm and character to your living space.

The North end of this media room holds a pool/ping pong table and a dart board. The west wall is graced by original art work by D Aaron Smith. The lower walls are textured with three colors. A European style Travertine looking Porcelain tile was used on the floors. Chocolate brown traditional cabinets with interior lighting and antique glass doors were hung on the East wall, allowing for a convenient place to cook and clean up. A traditional bar was strategically placed for eating and viewing those playing pool. The wool rugs were chosen to add color, warmth and decoration to the space. The lighting was designed to accentuate the art as well as provide visual clarity and ambiance. Eben Waggoner/Photography

Sometimes it makes sense to have two islands in a kitchen, especially in an expansive space. In this California inspired “Open Floor Plan” the double island can have many functions. One of the islands is a waterfall island that features a cooking station. The other has a seating area, a working sink, and a microwave drawer. Also, on the side wall in the room, is a built in hutch with sliding doors for storing those extra accessories. While the cook is working in one space, guests can sit and socialize at the other, leaving a cluster free area for moving around and yet not leave anyone out while talking! The kitchen’s cabinets are done up in our rich Chocolate stain on Maple each adorned in a beautiful light colored counter top to contrast. The doors and drawers are a custom styled veneer slab door with horizontal grain, giving this kitchen a contemporary “frameless” look while actually using Full Overlay framed cabinetry. Its minimalistic lines create a simple and clean atmosphere. Designer: Bruce Albert of Alcraft, Inc.

It was time to update the look of this Naperville, IL kitchen. New flooring was installed to match the existing wood floors. This gave us a variety of brown tones to work with. The homeowner chose a rich Chocolate stain on cherry. The cherry wood gives this deep tone a warm richness, while the Shaker style doors keep the look clean and updated. The cove crown and the sleek baseboard moldings keep the kitchen feeling modern. The creamy white granite countertops give the space a light feeling, and also tie together all the colors in our palette. Additional modern touches include the subway tile done in glossy gray tones. Industrial pendant light fixtures, and a commercial style faucet complete this transformation.
