and I can't wait to tell you about it!
Furniture Upcycle Friday!
This week I experimented with a new roller technique
and I can't wait to tell you about it!
I am not sure how I first ran across Jennifer's Facebook page.
I started with this cool dresser...
First we used the Ready to degloss and clean the piece. Then we painted the outer shell with Velvet Finishes Luxurious and painted the drawers with Understated.
After the drawers were dry we painted over the Understated with the Luxurious.
While the paint was wet, we ran the roller through the paint.
You can see in the photo above that we didn't get the pattern completely perfect.
The last step of the upcycle was the glazing.
I applied the glaze like it was paint, and didn't pull off any excess like I normally do. I left the glaze almost solid. Since it is slightly transparent, the paint colors showed through.
Enjoyed the project?
