This armoire was a real deal, a local craft store was closing shop and I had been consigning there, she offered me this for a price I could not refuse - I had always wanted one, had no use for it (like all the other "junk" I have), but never the less, it came home. It was dark brown - not my favorite. Before chalk paint was in vogue, I painted this off white with the intention of doing some decorative painting on it - never happened. Then a few weeks ago, before blogging, I had discovered MMS paint. I tried the Luckett's Green and really liked it. It did not chip, bubble, crinkle, peel, etc. It just went on in a variety of tones of green, blue, ochre. I don't know if the picture does it justice - After painting it I then sealed it with AS clear wax - I still might accent it with some decorative painting -
I lightly sanded these edges to add some scruffiness to it
Maybe I'm doing something wrong when I mix - too thin? But whenever I get to the bottom of the cup of paint, I always end up with all different shades of ochre, the beginning is always blue hues. Does anyone have any ideas on why this always happens?
Best wishes for a wonderful week! Thanks so much for dropping over, until next time.......
