Children love bringing their artwork home from school. But when the actual home<\/em> becomes the artwork, what can you do to restore crayoned stained walls? In this sweet bedroom makeover, the walls are primed and painted as the first step to a total room refresh that includes a striking honey-hued accent wall and vivid pink and yellow furniture.<\/p>\n

Crayon stained walls don\u2019t stand a chance against KILZ 2\u00ae\u00a0<\/sup>All-Purpose primer<\/a>, used at the first step to create a sunny yellow accent wall in a little one\u2019s dream bedroom. To begin, wipe down the chosen accent wall with a damp cloth to ensure it is clean and free of dust then allow the surface to dry. Next, tape around the baseboards, trim and moldings.<\/p>\n

To block the light crayon stains and ensure a perfect finish, apply 1 coat of KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup>\u00a0All-Purpose primer<\/a> using a brush first to \u201ccut in” around the edges, then use a roller to fill in. Allow 1 hour of dry time. Finally, apply KILZ Tribute\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> in Jazz Age Yellow using the same method as the primer. Remove tape prior to paint drying, and the accent wall is complete!\u00a0<\/p>\n

To match the yellow accent wall, paint the vanity in the same sunny yellow shade! Similar to the accent wall, start with KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose primer<\/a> before painting. The fast drying, water-based primer offers enhanced hiding, making it ideal for changing colors on both walls and furniture. To begin, remove the vanity\u2019s drawer and hardware.\u00a0Next, sand the surfaces of the vanity. Do a first pass with 100-150 grit sandpaper then finish with a second pass of 180-220 grit sandpaper, always moving in the direction of the wood grain. After sanding, wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dust or residue and allow the surface to dry before moving on to primer.<\/p>\n

Now it\u2019s time to prime. Apply KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose primer<\/a>, moving in the same direction as the wood grain and allow to dry for 1-hour. Next, apply KILZ Tribute\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> in Jazz Age Yellow <\/a>using a nylon or polyester blend brush, moving in smooth strokes that go the same direction as the wood grain. Once the paint is dry, reattached your hardware and the transformation is complete!<\/p>\n

The final step in this child\u2019s bedroom makeover is a pretty-in-pink dresser. Add a fun pop of color to a child\u2019s dresser by painting the drawers a bright accent shade! Follow the same directions as outlined for the vanity, priming with KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose<\/a> and then using BEHR Premium Plus\u00ae<\/sup><\/a> in Heart Breaker<\/a> for the drawers and a favorite neutral for the dresser\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

Step\u00a01:<\/h3>\n

Remove drawers and hardware.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Step\u00a02:<\/h3>\n

Wipe down the entire surface with a damp cloth to ensure it is clean and free of dust. Allow the surface to dry.<\/p>\n

\"Person \"Person<\/p>\n

Pro-tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Put the screws back into the hardware, then seal the hardware and screws in painter\u2019s tape and label it. It\u2019s always best to put every screw back exactly where it came from. That will put the least amount of stress on the wood.<\/em><\/p>\n

Step\u00a03:<\/h3>\n

Apply KILZ 2\u00ae<\/sup> All-Purpose primer<\/a>, moving in the same direction as the wood grain for best results. Allow primer to dry for 1-hour.<\/p>\n

Step\u00a04:<\/h3>\n

Topcoat with BEHR Premium Plus\u00ae<\/sup> Semi-Gloss<\/a> Paint in Heart Breaker<\/a>.<\/p>\n
