How To Easily Brighten A Dark Piece Of Furniture With Fusion Paint
Our furniture tastes change from time to time. When this happens, no worries! It’s easy to get the look you want and fall in love with your furniture pieces all over again. I love painting and refinishing furniture. If you are like me then you are going to love what I’m about to show you. I’m going to show you how to easily brighten a dark piece of furniture with Fusion paint!
There are certain companies that really know what it means to develop paint – Fusion Mineral Paint is one of them. Their motto is “Paint is good for the soul.” And it really is! There’s a special feeling attached to refinishing an old piece (or a new one) of furniture and have it transform right before your eyes.
I’ve used so many furniture paints over the past few years and nothing – and I truly mean nothing – is like Fusion Mineral Paint. Not to sound cliché, but it’s truly the Cadillac of paints. Before I move on to my transformation. I’d like to share some valuable information about Fusion Mineral Paints.
Established in 1989, Homestead House Paint Co. began its life as a reproduction furniture manufacturer that found a need to create its own authentic milk paints to replicate beautiful old world finishes. Recognizing a need in the market for these specialty products, they quickly expanded their paint line to offer a variety of other coatings and finishes. These include their 100% Acrylic Exterior & Traditional Oil paints, and their newest product line Fusion!
Now, I want to show you how I was able to easily – and I mean easily, transform this dark piece of furniture I bought a few years ago. I have to admit, I made a rash decision when I purchased this console table. I need something small enough to fit under my television to be used as a place to house my sound bar and other TV-related technologies. I knew it wasn’t me – wasn’t my taste, yet, I purchased it on a whim. I’ll never do that again!
But, since I was stuck with it, I tried to make it work. I hated it! That’s when I knew I could fall in love with it again with some help from Fusion Mineral Paints! And boy, was I right.
This is what it looked like before the magic happened. What a mess. it took a beating over the past few years too which even gave me more motivation to do something about it fast! The picture below is when I was moving it out of my living room and getting it ready for prepping.
What a dim and dark disaster!
Then – this magical, wonderful, and transformative paint came into my life!
Yes, paint is good for the soul – especially if it’s Fusion Mineral Paint! I used three colors I fell in love with instantly – Champlain, Pebble, and Inglenook.
Now, look at my beautiful console table! I actually can say I love it now!
Amazing right?
It’s brighter, cheerier, and adds an element into my living room I’d only dreamed of.
My soundbar and other technology sits pretty now!
This console table is a perfect fit in my living room now.
Once Fusion has cured, it yields a highly durable and a washable finish. If you choose, you can, of course, achieve a beautiful luster by adding a Beeswax Finish on top, or the Tough Coat. Fusion is dry to the touch after 2 hours and can accept a recoat after 4 hours. Cure time with all acrylic paints is 21 days, however, painted surfaces can be used gently after 24 to 48 hours of drying time.
Fusion paint offers incredible coverage of 75 sq ft per Pint (500ml). In most cases, one coat is all you need. The coverage is outstanding!
Fusion is formulated with a built-in topcoat, the 100% acrylic resin. You do not need to use a top coat for water permanency!
After days of setting, the finish hardens into a factory like finish so you don’t have to worry about nicks, scratches, or any other issues from use. Built in Top Coat, Price, Quality & Durability, Eco Friendly.
Fusion’s results are nothing less than spectacular, providing furniture painters a best-in-class paint that features; an environmentally conscious formulation, zero VOCs, superior durability, easy one-step application and significantly improved strength.
