Hi, I'm Liz from the DIY blog Simple Decorating Tips and the DIY shop Frame and Frills.

Here is a video post with 3 tips applying transfers that you won’t want to miss!


These 3 tips are my absolutes when using transfers on a piece to ensure they go on beautifully.

The video explains the process how to apply transfers.

Here are a few pics of the before during and after process to redo this secretary desk:

The products I used are Fusion Mineral Paint, Midnight Blue and French Eggshell with a few others, like Fusion Metallic and a little bit of Fusion Chocolate color added to water to create a wash to age the inside of the hutch.

Painting the interior was a bit tedious. LOL

After the paint was totally dry, I light sanded to distress, then added the transfers.


To protect the transfers, I used Fusion Tough Coat in matte.

All the products, transfers, paint, top coat and tools, I used in this video post are available in my shop, Frame and Frills. Shop online or in person, I ship USA nationwide M-F.

Have questions? Please contact me, I’d love to help you be successful with your project!
