The BIG Reveal!!
Boy, am I proud of myself.
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint is the bomb.com. Once I started working with the color Duck Egg it began to look too icy over the dark mahogany. I then purchased a green tint to mix with the paint by Proceed, called Phthalo Green. I used one in a half teaspoons to create this color. Distressing came with sand paper BEFORE waxing then a couple clear coats of "wax on, wax off". The clear wax darkens ever so slightly taking away the white base of the paint. A much needed pop of color for the kitchen.
Next project: Kitchen Cabinets :)

ReplyDeleteThank you David! Leaving the cabinets off created a more open feel :) I will more than likely find a place to hang them on the wall and carry the color through the house.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am proud of you too! The buffet is amazing and I love the open look to show off all your glassware and plates. Newly following and glad to have found your stylish spot on the web! Enjoy your day:)
