for the first project i will be arranging this mini jewelry chest, i think it is, it has three drawers of different sizes and it is completely in wood i'm going to paint this big part in brown "burnt umber" that has a matte finish i really like this color. i gave him two paint coats to cover the color he originally brings you should also paint the inside where the drawers go, this part really is not going to see so i just gave him a hand of painting once i gave him two coats of paint and dried, that's how you should be looking with my waverly chalk paint, i will be doing a distress look and the brush you use should have very little paint i wanted to do something different and it was that with the brush i started making lines horizontally and vertically i still see a distress look but different and i love it now i started painting my drawers in white with two paint coats to cover the colors they had originally
once the drawers are dry, with the same brown paint i will be doing a distress look to highlight all the edges of the drawers make sure they are all painted, you can put them back to the jeweler the largest drawer is left open to put flowers inside. i'm going to use these that walmart has right now for .97 cents the idea that the drawer looks completely full of flowers, i just had to use a bouquet of each style and this would be the result! for the second project i will be fixing this table that i got in the garbage near my house. the wood was in good condition, but the paint is in very bad condition, it was of several colors and stripes but i saw a lot of potential to this piece of furniture, so we are going to start working with it to begin, i will be sanding the furniture with this sander that i got super economical in walmart and a soft sandpaper 100 with the machine i had to sand all the paint waste i had. if i only painted it without first sanding it, all that would be noticed, and it would be ugly
you must sand all the edges of the furniture also only this part with your hand with a sandpaper 220 i will sand the legs of the table just to remove the brightness and correct any little thing that may affect the paint you see it well and then you must remove all the dust that is created by having sanded i will use kilz brand chalk paint in white and i have to say that i did not love this painting and then you will see why ... use this brush and start painting in a part that i know you do not see much to practice first because it's the first time i paint a piece of furniture this brush is very bad to paint chalk paint because it is difficult to handle and creates many lines in each brush stroke then i change it for this dollar tree sponge, and it works much better and i practically paint the whole first layer of paint with it the only thing is that it is of very poor quality, i do not know if it is because of dollar tree, but halfway through painting i broke my sponge i don’t know why?! then i put my furniture right to give the second coat of paint and this time use a brush
it is easier to paint and do not create as many lines when you are painting your furniture i had to give four paint coats of paint to the furniture so that it covered well. i think it's a lot and i do not know if it's the brand of painting, but i do not love it then with my waverly chalk paint in mineral, paint the top of the table but start at the bottom to practice at first, i liked the color, so i decided to paint the top part of the furniture too i gave him only one paint coat and this color does cover very well. once the top was all painted and dry, i gave it another coat of paint but another color. what i had in mind was that it was a more creamy and darker shade mix the color mineral with the color burnt umber to create the tonality that i did want on screen you can see the difference of colors. and i started to give it a coat of paint with the color that it creates, and i love it once it is dried, with brown paint and this brush, which previously did not work, to create a distress look is excellent
i must apply very little paint to the brush and pass it gently on the top so that small paint residues remain i'm going to focus on the edges because i always like them to be much darker than the rest of the top my love once we found everything painted that's how you would be seeing but i need to apply a protector, so leave me in the comments which should buy so be it wax or the brand that you recommend me to protect my furniture this would be the result of both projects together and i am totally in love with the colors, i hope that you are also liked remember to follow me in my social medias, i'll be leaving you here on screen
