Do you sometimes feel like your home is too boring and could use a splash of color? Then I have a simple project for you today that is not difficult to implement and will still bring a breath of fresh air and some color into your apartment or house. Lignocolor* with their chalk paints and together we quickly built a small chest of drawers out of two bread boxes, for example for the bedroom as a bedside table or in the hallway. It offers a lot of storage space and is still compact! You can store small things in it that haven’t found a place yet or that you need in exactly this corner. In this blog post I explain to you step by step how I built my new chest of drawers out of two bread boxes and how you can easily copy my DIY.
Small chest of drawers made from a bread box as a splash of colour for the apartment
So that you feel inspired to bring a little more color into your home, Lisa from meinfeenstaub.com and I have come up with the topic “splash of color!” for the #DIYYearChallenge. Maybe you can give an old, worn-out piece of furniture a new coat of paint? For the month of August, we were able to get our new partner Lignocolor excited about the topic and they supported us with various chalk paints in pastel shades. For anyone who still has a few questions: What kind of challenge? I’ll explain it again here.
#DIYYearChallenge 2024
Lisa and I are taking on a creative challenge once a month for a year – the #DIYYEARChallenge. On a given topic and with the support of a sponsor, we independently create a DIY project. We get creative with the sponsor’s materials and publish our results on our blogs and social media channels. Our followers can win great prizes from the sponsor by voting for their favorite under the Instagram post.
Monthly theme August: Splash of color!
I have already built a lot of furniture in my home and shown it here on the blog or on Instagram. So it was clear to me that I also wanted to build a piece of furniture for the chalk paints from Lignocolor. I have wanted to implement the idea of the bread boxes for a long time and finally had the time to do so in the summer. My dresser is something very special because the bread box was transformed into something completely new. A special inspiration set from Lignocolor was used, which I would like to tell you more about below. Now you will find out how I implemented my DIY idea step by step. Be sure to take a look at how Lisa interpreted the theme.
Instructions
Place the bread boxes on the wooden board and trace the borders with a pencil.
Cut the wooden board to size using a circular saw or jigsaw.
Spread wood glue on the bottom plate and place the two bread boxes on top, leaving out the middle with wood glue.
Spread wood glue again on the two upper sides of the bread boxes and place the second board on top. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly.
Remove the knobs from the bread boxes and open the first color from the “Pastel Dreams” inspiration set by Lignocolor.
Use the flat brush to paint only the bread boxes.
Pour the second color of Lignocolor into a paint tray and paint the panels with the paint roller and the brush.
Allow to dry thoroughly. Finally, apply a coat of Lignocolor Shabby Sealer.
When all layers have dried thoroughly, drill holes in the furniture feet and attach the knobs.
The bread box chest of drawers is finished.
