I have been working on a new project these last 2 days. I luv, luv, luv repainting old furniture and I haven’t been able to do this in quite a while. So I have paint on my newly manicured nails and it is NO problem man!!
I always forget to take the ‘before’ picture. I hate when that happens. I did nab a pic after I had sanded the drawer fronts and top.
I put on a coat of primer and let it dry well. Today I started adding the layers of color. There is creamy pale yellow and two shades of blue. You can’t ignore the cheetah that I decoupage onto the surface also.
Then I have painted over all of the splotchy mess with white paint. I often use a beeswax candle or even petroleum jelly over some areas that I don’t want the white paint to adhere. Not this time though because I really want this to be subtle and I’ll be sanding quite a bit and I think the effect will be soft and very nice worn look.
That is what I have in mind anyway. While this is drying this evening, I am back in the sweat shop and sewing up some draperies for a client. And who knows what else will happen when I get my energy back in gear.
Luv ya and hope to hear from ya soon pardner!
