Taking Your Furniture From “Ignored to Adored”
is what
Silky Patina Paint will do !
So get your apron on & roll up your sleeves

Step 1 – select your piece ! – remove all knobs, hinges and/or handles
Step 2 –make sure it’s clean. I like to clean with vinegar & water  but if it’s really old and gummy – mineral spirits works well.  If it’s untreated wood – just dust free is all you need to do.
Step 3 – although sanding is not always required – with shiny surfaces I always give it a quick scuff so to speak, with a sanding block, to increase adhesion.
Step 4 – using your Bluestone Cottage natural bristle chalking brush, apply your paint. Some colours may require a second coat.
Step 5 – you may be happy with the look at this point – if so you’re all done ! You can now add your hardware back on. Silky does require a cure period of 3-6 days.

If you like the French Country distressed look, that is so desired,
sand your piece lightly around the edges.
You cannot make a mistake ! If you sand too much, add some more paint.
 Just sand to your desired look !


Step 6 -For added protection apply the Bluestone Cottage Natural Beeswax with a waxing brush in a circular motion then,using a clean rag, buff to a shine, or Silky Satin Interior Clear Topcoat can be brushed on.

See bluestonecottage.blogspot.com for even more inspirational pics !


Bluestone Cottage Paints & Topcoats are
100% water based acrylic – ultra low VOC’s and soap & water clean up !!!
Special Notes :
If you are painting a piece of furniture that is already painted, remove any old or flaking paint. Do this in a well ventilated area !
If you want to be sure that the knots or tannins in the wood do not bleed through – use a blocking primer. Personally I like it when the tannins & knots bleed throughout ! – it adds to the Patina of the piece !
Taking your furniture from Ignored to Adored is what Silky Patina Paint will do !

 

WARNING !!! VERY ADDICTIVE !!! If this happens – contact a friend and go garage saleing to find more pieces to paint !!!
