1. Before
This is what my piece looked like before I gave it a little makeover.
Do you have any furniture that you want to give a wood look? Maybe you have dark furniture that you want lighter or white furniture you want with a wood grain. This antique wax is the perfect thing for that! Our bedroom furniture was dark and had stains and chips on it from kids and drinks with no coasters. I wanted to make it lighter and get rid of the drink rings. First, you sand down your furniture lightly with a sanding block. Then, you get white chalk paint and paint the piece of furniture white if it’s not that color. Once the white paint is dry, you use a old rag or a paint brush and apply the antique wax! The more coats you apply the darker it will be. I love this stuff!

2. Chalk paint
I just used some simple chalk paint to give the furniture a coat of paint before going over it with the antiquing wax.
3. Chalk paint and antiquing wax
This antiquing wax is amazing! Just wait and see what I did with it.
What a difference! And so easy too!

What is the difference in antique wax and glaze?
Antique wax adds an aged look to the piece. It has a light tint that settles in the crevices to give it an old look.
Regular wax or glaze will not do this.
