If you have been with us for a while now you are familiar with F*UP Friday aka

Furniture Upcycle Friday!

I love sharing the MANY different ways that you can use Velvet Finishes and any time I can squeeze the word F*UP in there, it makes me happy.

It’s the little things.

So let’s take a look back at a few of my favorite F*UP Friday projects…

Get your Velvet Finishes paint ready!!!!

Want a dresser you can write on? Seriously! We gave this once old, beat up dresser a coat of Velvet Finishes Cosmopolitan and Timeless.

Then I used Dry Erase paint for the drawer faces so they could be written on!

All you need is dry erase pens and an eraser & ReMARKable Dry Erase Coating!

See the entire process here.

This week’s upcycle had us being a mixologist and creating a custom Velvet Finishes color. We mixed Velvet Finishes Exotic, Ethereal, and Vivid. I love the subtle pattern using tonal colors created.

Amazing how two simple things – the pattern and the two-tone finish – create such a gorgeous piece. Details can be easy and still create an incredible amount of interest. See my detailed tutorial here.

Now this F*UP project was FUN! We got to use our new Velvet Finishes product Decopaste. Combining vintage wallpaper, Velvet Finishes Enchanting + Modern, along with the Decopaste, gave this 70’s wardrobe a new life! We turned her into an amazing craft cabinet. See my complete how to here.

This makeover is truly one of my all time favorites.  For this particular F*UP Friday project I experimented with a new roller technique – a Crocodile Roller from Artistic Painting Studio! Velvet Finishes + Crocodile = FABULOUSNESS!!! See all of the details here.

I had this highboy piece for years.  It just sat in the corner of my project pile patiently waiting. I thought this was the perfect piece for a layered finish and for this F*UP Friday makeover, I showed exactly how easy it is to create a layered finish with Velvet Finishes.

OK, so who noticed that one of the handles is on upside down? What.  The.  Crap. I am laughing so hard right now….

Life at the Asylum.
