I put my paint in the freezer and I could not believe what happend next! Try this fun and unusual trick to create beautiful results on your furniture, it's so easy!
I started by putting three containers of DIY clay based paint in the freezer for 24 hours. What??? Know you not supposed to put paint in the freezer!
This is what my furniture looked like before I started painting. To see the amazing results watch my step-by-step video tutorial.
Here's detailed shot of the beautiful look I created with out using a brush and freezing my paint first.
I mixed two colors together to create this purple shade that reminded me of the ornamental kale plant that I saw at Home Depot.
I used one part Kissing Booth, and a tiny bit of Bohemian Blue...
Does this color remind you of the kale plant?

    If you didn't use a brush, what DID you use? You left out how you actually acheived the look. Interesting! I would also like to see a pic of the entire finished piece.

    With the risk of being too matchy-matchy, do you think that mirror frame should be done in the same colors? I think you did a great job, loved the video, and you definitely have a unique style! Fun to watch

    I LOVE the piece you did. I LOVE the colors! I LOVE the way you laugh at yourself! That is sooo me!! I especially love obsessing over a spot & having to redo it. I am restoring some exterior doors, finished, been paid, saw a spot right above the door knob, tried to fix and now having to redo the door inorder to blend! Oh well!! 😄 So glad I saw your post tonight! Smiling!!!
