If you have followed me for awhile you know I love horses and hand crafted wood pieces. This hand crafted rocking horse it the PERFECT combo of my loves.
When it arrived though (thanks Mom) it was neglected and rather bold colored.
First step as always was a good scrub to get everything clean.
I wanted the rockers to be a dark chocolate color and it so happened I had
Krylon spray paint in camouflage brown I had bought for a project on the ranch. I sprayed it outside in a sheltered area to get the perfect coverage.
Then it was on to the horse, I love milk paint for antiques and old wood things.
Homestead House Paint Co. milk paint in Champlain was my color of choice.
Here is the first coat applied, do not fret, milk paint always looks sketchy after the first coat ;)
Here is the second coat with the edges distressed and the flat surfaces sanded smooth as butter.
I LOVE this cutie, how about you?
