Wooden Spice Rack in Fusion's Plaster

Autumn Floral Wooden Box

Autumn is upon us, friends! When I received this lovely box from a friend, I immediately knew it needed a floral makeover. The newly released Autumn Morning Dixie Belle transfer looks absolutely stunning against the pretty green paint, don’t you think?

After a customer purchased this white farmhouse roll top bread box and vintage round wooden tray, she found this round spice rack and sent to me to paint to "match" the other two pieces.

As with every piece, it starts with a good cleaning. This piece had a waxy greasy coating that required scraping and scrubbing to be sure it was all off before moving on to the paint process.

Just like the other 2 pieces I applied two coats Fusion Mineral Paint in the color plaster, a warm white color.

The edges were lightly distressed to keep the vintage look and hints of wood visible.

To further age it, I applied Fusion Mineral Paint black wax in the crevices and edges.

The last step was to add a stencil, again like the other 2 pieces in the collection. This Waverly stencil fit perfect. Using a small stencil brush I applied Fusion Mineral Paint in coal black over the secured stencil.

Once dry, it was lightly sanded to give a worn aged look in keeping with the whole look.
