Have I chatted with you about the guest bedroom before?
Why am I asking? I know the answer to this. Its no.
And why have you never heard of this guest bedroom before or seen photos of it?
Because its ugly.
Let’s be honest. What room is usually last on the list when it comes to decorating?
The guest bedroom.
Those poor guests. A.K.A my amazing in-laws.
Bless them. They deserve better.
And they will get it. It’s all starting with these navy and gold chest makeovers.

Sometimes, all you need to make something pop is the simple combination of two colors.
No frills. No intricate details. Just the simple combination.
And for me, that simple combination in this case was navy and gold.
Notice, I said makeovers in the title. Yep, there are two of these. A night stand and a chest of drawers. I think the night stand probably qualifies as a chest because it certainly doesn’t seem like a “stand.”
Both of these are pretty solid, but had some issues.
I think at some point, they may have been in some water. See the bottom of the big chest above?
And the top needed some love as well.
So, before any paint went on these, I sanded them well. And picked up all the sanding dust with a tack cloth.
And then I pulled out my beloved, my coveted, my just-go-ahead-and-bury-me-with-it, HomeRight Finish Max paint sprayer.
Heaven help. Why did I just show you that picture?
That would be one of those days when the circus went to preschool and I tend to go a little loco.
You don’t get to judge.
After a coat of primer, I painted the chests the same navy color I used on the $10 dresser turned buffet.
This is a really deep navy, so it took a few light coats to get the color uniform. The finish was still impeccable.
Wow, I don’t know that I’ve used that word before on the blog. Yay, Jenna for using big words!
But, that’s the beauty of the Finish Max, it has a fine finish that looks completely professional.
I was not parting with the hardware that these chests came with – I loved their vintage vibe. They got a coat of gold spray paint.
There was this inlay on the top of each chest. To highlight it, I went over it with a gold Sharpie paint pen.
Want to learn more about how to use the Finish Max paint sprayer? See this post then! Oh, you are worried about clean-up of the Finish Max? Don’t be. It takes less than 10 minutes to clean it and in only six steps! Read all about it here!
So, where is this guest bedroom headed?
My friends, that is a fabulous question.
Here’s what I know:
The Jonathan Adler inspired chair is staying.
The wall color is going.
Somewhere in all of it, there needs to be an office space.
And these chest makeovers were a fabulous start.
That’s about it.
Stayed tuned. It should be fun.

Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Hahaha! I know, right, DeDe!! That nail polish has been chipping since October! I don’t have time to change it! I’m so pathetic!
Susan says
This looks wonderful! I think I may be inspired to try something like this. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks so much!
Sheila Moore says
I would love to paint the dresser in my dining room with this sprayer.
Cathy says
Now Jenna, you KNOW I’d love to win this! Would give me incentive to get my act together in 2014 and get at some projects around here!
And just reading the previous post about your nails lol… I’m a nail polish-aholic…I seriously have like 100 bottles of polish give or take 10. Girl, take the time to remove that!! Not good for your nails!
xoxox
Cathy
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
I know, Cathy, I am so bad about removing nail polish. I really need to get on that!! hahaha!
Kristin says
Love the blue chest! Would love a sprayer like that!
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
Thanks!
Selene Galindo says
Absolutely beautiful, Jenna! I love my navy blue! I’m glad you left the original hardware..its so pretty once painted.
I see you used your gold sharpie again. You’ll be proud to know this girl got herself a set! I think it was due time. On the other hand, I may be going overboard with it!
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
You did??? You will not regret it, Selene! Those markers are amazing!
Gillianne says
I’d paint 1) the scuffed headboard I picked up for my daughter’s room and 2) the equally scruffy but sturdy desk I use for sewing and crafting projects. I just repainted my home office, and that piece stands out painfully, just begging for a facelift to match the new freshness of the rest of the room.
More Time Than Money! says
I have 4 huge formal dining room arm chairs that I use in different areas of our home and would love to paint them! I have been dragging my feet on getting to it and a sprayer would give me a giant jump start on the project.
Amanda McCellon says
I have a tv stand I’ve had since college that is still super functional – but needs a major makeover! I would paint that.
Crystal @My Blissful Space says
We’ve been looking at paint sprayers because we’re going to paint our kitchen cabinets! And when my husband saw how much time he would have saved having a sprayer when he stained our deck and lattice, he REALLY wanted one! 🙂
Helen @ Blue Eyed Beauty Blog says
Oh that’s a GREAT idea! I’m wanting to paint my kitchen cabinets too, but didn’t think to use something like this to do the job instead of a brush! That would save SO much time and twisting to get in all the spaces!
Susan @ SunfowerHugs.blogspot.com says
I would like to paint our deck with it. And then I would paint some furniture!
Thanks for the giveaway!
Trina @ Let's Just Build a House says

chris aka monkey says
Jenna i almost fainted when i saw this give away,,hope you do not think i am greedy because i won the decals but man i would repaint the kitchen cabinet and my bed and one grandsons bed..actually anything that got in the way would get a nice coat of paint lol xx
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
I absolutely do not think you are greedy!! Who wouldn’t want this awesome sprayer! Good luck!
JaneEllen says
Ooooh, do I ever love that chest, it looks fantastic, love the hardware also. Your lamp is incredible with the chest. Everything looks so great. Question, do you have to use an air compressor with that sprayer? The sprayer looks pretty hefty so wondered about that as soon as I saw it. Great, awesome sprayer to have, the finish is so smooth. Can I come visit, I’m a good guest and up for baby sitting? lol.
I don’t see anything wrong with the photo, you’re working, what are you supposed to look like when you’re working. Sheesh, what not to wear would love it. I’m so sure we all look like we’re going to a party when we work.
The special little touch to top with gold sharpie sets off the dresser perfectly. Think your chest is a keeper.
Hope you’re enjoying your holiday season, time is rushing by.
Jenna @ Rain on a Tin Roof says
No, you don’t have to use an air compressor!!! Its like icing on the cake with this sprayer!! And if you babysit, come on! hahaha!

Stephanie Conner says
I would paint this pair of window shutters that I have so I can finally make them into magazine racks. I also have a pair of bi-fold closet doors that are to be made into a room divider that need to be painted as well.
