- painting the entire room (including walls and wood trim),
- painting a wood dresser and an refinishing an old brass table lamp,
- making a little nightstand with driftwood legs.
Next week we’ll be revealing the entire room and then the design plans for the next makeover in the cottage: the bathroom! Click to make sure your notified of each step of the Graystone Beach Coastal Cottage reno.

- ½” thick plywood, cut to 18”x48” (or whichever size you’d like) and thoroughly sanded
- straight drift wood pieces ranging from 4”-20” in length (the pieces will be cut in the end, so can be even longer)
- white paint, or ideally paint which matches your wall
- Americana Decor Chalky Finish paints in Everlasting, Serene, Treasure, and Relic
- paint brushes
- art wall mounting kit or two 1” screws and wire
- airgun nailer
- grinder
- circular saw
A note about the paints: you can use whichever colours or type of paints you prefer however a chalk-based paint will provide a nice matte finish (rather than glossy) on the driftwood pieces.
