Another quick post here for me today, It was my sisters B'day a couple of weeks ago and she wanted her bed set made over, this is the end result.
Everything started out like this, boring plain Pine. Sorry no before pic of the bed.
I used Decoarts Chalk Finish Paint, Vintage for the base colour and Lace for the top coat.I have applied the top cat very hap hazard and thinner in places, This after a little sanding back along the edges and surfaces helps give a much more subtle and distressed look.
Both Drawers and the bed were done with one tub of each colour with plenty left over for some more makes.
The pieces were finished of with two coats of clear cream wax also from Decoart.
I will be at the Big craft show at Ally Pally this weekend (12/13) Demoing the new Decoart Chalk Paints, If you are there it would be great if you come over and say Hi. xx
Great job Mark. So the commissions have started already!! What people won't get from these photos is how soft and smooth that finish is. This is no ordinary paint... Jenny x
