Who doesn’t love a good pair of faded denim jeans? Do Dodson Designs recreated this look on furniture!
“Before starting your furniture project you will need to thoroughly clean your piece. I recommend a product called White Lightning. Paint will not adhere to a grimy, dirty piece, so therefore this is a crucial step in any painted wood furniture makeover.”

- Sand Bar
- Mud Puddle
- Yankee Blue
- Best Dang Wax in White
- Oval Small Dixie Belle Paint Brush
Step 1
I started with a beautiful color called Sand Bar and painted the the top 2/3 of the bench leaving the bottom unpainted. I’ll be adding a darker color below so no need to waste paint, right?
Step 2
The lower 1/3 of the bench I applied a gorgeous Yankee Blue color by Dixie Belle and this is where the faded jean look comes in if you were wondering.
Step 3
The third color I used was Mud Puddle by Dixie Belle. It’s a beautiful brown color that well represents its name and by blending the three colors, I was able to create a beautiful faded look that seamlessly flowed into each other. This technique isn’t as difficult as you may think.

Sand Bar
Sand Bar is a neutral and natural color that will go with everything! Suzanne certainly had the beach on her mind when she created this stunning sandy tone.
Mud Puddle
Mud Puddle is a rich and creamy taupe color with a hint of gray. This color is often used to blend with Sand Bar or Buttercream. We can definitely see why!
Yankee Blue
Yankee Blue is a deep navy blue. We’re in love with this patriotic color, the perfect match to blend into a denim finish.
