Antique wardrobe, table and decals

List of Products Used:

• Colorantic Oil Based Primer
• Chalk Based Paint – Night
• Colorantic Top Coat – Varnish
• Colorantic #6 Synthetic Oval Purple Brush
• Chalk Based Paint – Cotton Ball
• Colorantic Synthetic Snow White Brush
• Colorantic Two Grain Sanding Block

Step One- Preparing your piece of furniture

• A good sanding to remove any varnish…
• Something I should have done but didn’t(was using a coat of oil primer)which means that I had to use more paint. I should have asked the fantastic Colorantic team for the steps before starting.
• It is now time to apply your paint.

Step 2 – Paint

• Two coats of Night were applied on the side table.
• For each coat, I dipped my paintbrush into my paint then sprayed my brush two or three times with water.
• I waited 20 minutes before giving it a second coat.
• Next, for the white wardrobe, it’s a little more complicated… it doesn’t cover as well no matter what paint company you use. By using my primer I only had to apply three coats of paint.

Step 3 – Protector and topcoat

• I used my sanding block all over until I was satisfied with the “distressed” look that I wanted.
• I finished by applying one coat of matte varnish, I sanded lightly with my sanding block and then applied a second coat of varnish.

CONCLUSION

And here you have it, for a very low cost I was able to transform an outdated wardrobe and a side table and now have a completely different set.
