French Elegance Drawers - SOLD
These drawers have been sold.
These drawers have been given a complete makeover in our French Elegance technique using Harewood Chalk Paint and Dark Wax.
This is a wonderful technique to use to create depth and layers of colours and is one that we teach in one of our Masterclasses.
Technique:
Painted all over in Harewood with our Staalmeester pro-hybrid brush. We wanted a bit of texture so painted in all directions and we didn't water down the first coat. For the second coat we added about 5% water to achieve full coverage.
Once we had full coverage, we applied a layer of Dark Wax with our natural bristle brush, making sure to wipe off the excess with our rags.
We then made a coloured wax with our Harewood Chalk Paint and Clear Wax, using approximately a 1:1 paint to wax ratio. We brushed this on with our natural bristle brush and again wiped off any excess.
Note that we also painted over the original handles. This is a great way to update handles that have discoloured.
