So this Campaign Chest Makeover can go either way, some might really like it and some might say  that I ruined a solid wood furniture piece!

But in my defense I have had this Campaign Chest Table for almost 32 years even before I was born !! So you can imagine that I have been seeing this basic brown piece of furniture for so long that I was dying to give it a makeover at this point.

 Let me give you guys a good picture of how it actually looked in its original glory.

So there you have it, some might actually like it and don’t get me wrong I did actually love this piece but I had had enough and it was time for a change.

And that is what I set out to do to give it a total transformation.

Materials Needed for this Project

American Decor Chalky Paint

DecoArt 24K Gold Paint

DecoArt Flower Stencil

DecoArt Palm Leaf Stencil

Paint Brushes

Sealant

I went the complete opposite route and chose a bright Blue Vibrant Color.

I chose a Chalky Paint Finish in the color Treasure from DecoArt.

The thing I absolutely loved about this piece was the beautiful wood carvings and to me with all the brown colors it seemed like it wasn’t getting the spotlight it deserved.

First I gave the entire table two coats of the Chalky Finish Paint.

That in itself improved the piece so much.

To enhance the carvings I went in with a round fluffy brush and used 24K Metallic Gold by DecoArt and went around the entire wooden carvings.

This instantly enhanced the piece 10 times more.

I painted the drawer pulls all Gold as well.

So for the front part, it was looking a little bare to me.

I decided to use these gorgeous Palm Leaf Stencils by DecoArt as well which I have used on my Copper and Gold Fall Art Wall.

And this flower stencil which I have used on my Flower Clay Coasters and Refinished Spring Table.

The flower would go in the middle and the leaves would be on either side.

The top part I decided to use some stencils, which would compliment the existing woodcarvings, as well as some flowers.

And on the side of the chest of drawer I went in with the same Leaf Stencil and stenciled it on either side as well.

And that was basically it.

    I love it! I am very hesitant to paint old solid wood pieces. You are brave. It is so pretty and bright now. Great job.
