So I have done my second coat in Annie Sloan color "Paris Grey". I now need to clear wax it, maybe a little dark wax and then distress it ....I am thinking heavily distressed but we will see as I go along!
I am going to sand it first with 220 grit sandpaper as I want it to have a smooth finish....i prefer that to a textured look on most pieces. I like to distress after I have given the piece a coat of clear wax. I like the way it distresses though some people prefer distressing before giving it a coat of wax...your call! Try it both ways and see which you prefer.
I did not paint the little brass feet. Not sure but thinking of doing them in a gold....
Here she is! I will update you when next stage is complete!
You will notice some wet paint....just a few last minute touch ups before the clear wax! |
