I was at a garage sale eyeing this slice when the lady selling it ran over as well as said..."lets bike as well as deal, if y'all purchase this I volition run it out to your automobile correct now!" After a picayune negotiation on cost I decided to conduct maintain it home, as well as certain plenty her as well as her boy "ran" it correct out to my car!

As y'all tin run across the dorsum has a mirror as well as in that place was drinking glass on all sides of this slice equally good equally drinking glass shelves.

I took all the drinking glass out as well as painted the frame alongside DecoArts Chalky Finish Paint. This paint, much similar chalk paint, tin pigment over merely almost anything without sanding. However, I did sand this slice a picayune fighting to brand certain it was shine as well as sand out the dings.

Here is the coverage afterwards 1 coat, as well as it stuck actually great. My mom also painted alongside this pigment as well as loved how shine it went on.

I exclusively had to pigment this slice alongside ii coats of paint!

After I painted the frame I cutting out panels of bead board to agree inwards where the drinking glass as well as the mirrors used to be! I painted those alongside ii coats of the bluish pigment equally well.

Once the bluish pigment had dried I used Everlasting (white) to dry out brush the entire piece. I honey the texture dry out brushing gives to a piece! You tin run across my dry out brushing tutorial here.

I also establish this pretty appliqué to add together to the forepart door.

After all of the pigment was dry out I seal this slice alongside a H2O based clear coat, afterwards I applied the glaze to all the cracks.
