TIPS & TRICKS
• When painting two different colors of paint
next to each other, it may be easier to use
painter’s tape or stencil tape to assist in
keeping straight lines of color.
• Add a pop of interest to this nightstand, by
Mod Podging a fabric liner to the drawer and/
or cabinet portion of the nightstand.
• The fun of this project is enjoying the sheen
difference between the matte finish of Waverly
Inspirations Chalk and the semi-gloss finish of
Waverly Inspirations Super Premium.
• Although there is no need to apply a finish
to the Super Premium painted areas, if desired,
the chalk areas can be sealed with Waverly
Inspirations Clear Wax.
