Time to try another
Homestead House milk paint color. I had a solid wood coffee table with great details that needed a relove. At first I thought it would look great in red so tried
barn red on the base
I added
antiquing tough coat (bottom half of photo) to see if it would deepen any but it was not quite the deep dark red I was envisioning
so I whipped up some
refrew blue, one of my
favorite colors in the Fusion line and started painting, so how can this go wrong
but I may have spoke to soon, on the table edges it seems in typical milk paint mindset, it decided to go chippy.
I may have been ok with the look had I not had red under the base coat so
bonding agent to the rescue. This additive makes milk paint stick to anything so on went another coat of
refrew blue with it added
I wanted to give the table an antique look and feel and seeing it would be used allot it need to be durable so I chose
Fusion's antiquing tough coat. I went with two coats of it then enhanced it even more with
Homestead's espresso wax.
These sealing products totally gave me the look I wanted
