I recently won some gorgeous Coral Fusion Mineral Paint and Fusion Mineral Beeswax Finish in a giveaway thru Hometalk!!!! I was so excited to get it as I had already chosen an old stool I had been holding on to but could never decide what to do with it. But when I saw the Coral color of this paint I was able to choose, it hit me!! I'm getting ready to re-do the colors in my bathroom and my little stool will go perfectly in there!
Here is my poor stool before I started working on it :( . I gave it a good sanding with a coarse 80grit sandpaper (it was pretty rough and dirty). I didn't go all the way down to the bare wood, I just sanded it enough to get it smooth and clean.
I used two coats of the Fusion Minerals Coral Paint, sanding with a 120grit sandpaper between coats after letting it dry completely. After the second coat was completely dry, I stenciled a fleur de lis from Folk Art Home Decor on the top with Americana Acrylic Paint in White. When the stencil was dry I used the 80grit sandpaper again to distress the edges and the legs a bit. I wiped it down with a lint free cloth to get rid of all the dust. I then used a small paintbrush to apply the Fusion Mineral Beeswax Finish and waited the 30 minutes according to the directions and then polished it with another lint free cloth.
I have to tell ya'll~this Paint and Beeswax has impressed the heck out of me!! The paint went on so smoothly and the Beeswax...just WOW!! It makes me want to go find some other things to paint! I am definitely a fan of Fusion Mineral Paints now and can't wait to try some other colors and products!!
