Tray Makeover #2

This little wooden tray received a second makeover for two reasons; 1- it moved to a new home that black was the decor color and 2 it had bleed thru happening after the first makeover.

I had painted this in a farmhouse white finish for a friends a few years back but the darn red stain is bleeding thru over the years and needs to be stopped.

First clean well with Dixie Belle white lightening cleaner, wipe again with clean water and wipe dry.

Time to pull out the Dixie Belle BOSS in clear. Using a chip brush I applied two coats as directed. BOSS blocks stains like this.

The updated color I chose was anchor; a rich black from Dixie Belle silk paint line. Two coats using a narrow chip brush were applied.

When it was dry I lightly sanded the edges with a Dixie Belle sanding sponge to distress.

But I was not a fan, I preferred the solid color below on the other end. I showed to my friend and she agreed, no distressing so the tray was painted a 3rd time.

Silk has a built in top coat so no further steps are required, how fast is this makeover!!
