Paint Layering & Dry Brushing With Chalk Paint®by Annie Sloan

by Big White Goose

Some of you have asked me for more pics and 'how to' on transforming old kitchen doors and furniture with old layered look but on newish doors. I am going to do a blog soon as I can on how to. But this maple kitchen door from the 90's go a good going over. I used paint layering, dry brushing, and crackle text not dried to crackle but instead pulled it with a brush when half dried with hair dryer to resemble peeling paint. I have to say, I was almost jumping out of my skin when I figured it out and how it turned out. Here is a few sneak peak. Enjoy from Cheryl at Big White Goose.

Do you keep adding paint layers over the crackle Tex? Or is the crackle Tex just applied over the original paint layers?

I've done this technique on my bathroom and kitchen cupboards and it came out amazing! I'm older now and don't have that energy anymore so I was curious about the above question regarding an easier technique over oak. I know the layers are what give the worn look but is there another technique that could be easier? I didn't see an answer to her question.

Where can I buy that crackle tex product? Or will any crackle medium work?
