As soon as I saw this little cabinet I knew I had to have it. It has all the things I love already on it. Just so fancy! Plus, it just looked like it had a door to another realm that I had to use for this magical paper.

Thank you, Gale! It does have the shape of an old radio cabinet. The inside is what was throwing me off. Most of the old radio cabinets I have worked on had a lot of the stuff built in and this one had that shelf in the middle so I wasn’t sure how it could have been set up. I really wish I could go back in time and see the piece in its original glory.

Blending takes a minute to get comfortable with, but I’m telling you, once you get the feel for it, ITS SO EASY!!! I think my biggest problem when I first started was just being in my own head too much. Now I just relax and enjoy the process. Plus, this was an easy one with those two colors being so close. All that to say- you can totally do it, Leslie!!!

I love that story! I forgot all about it! And you can absolutely color wax. Depending on the wax you are using would be the deciding factor on how you color it. But most you can just add a bit of paint to. Or if you have pigment powders you can use those as well.

Thank you! Depending on the poly you are using, I usually wait at least two hours before applying multiple coats of that. Then I will wait until all my coats of poly have completely dried (usually over night or longer if the weather is preventing a full setup) and then I’ll apply the wax. The wax you use usually tells you how long to leave it before wiping it back, but I usually let it sit for at least 30 min, sometimes overnight if I’m done for the day and then wipe it back and buff the rest in. At this point it’s safe and dry- but most products are fully cured at about 30 days. I always let my clients know to take it easy on them if they purchase something from me before the 30 day mark.

I liked everything about it except the decoupage paper. Really wish you went with a Moroccan style stencil since the detailing on the front had a Moroccan feel on the outside and inside of the doors.

I’m not the biggest fan of Moroccan style stencils so you probably won’t see much of it here. But I’m sure you could come up with a brilliantly done piece with a similar color pallet!

They are the ones you get from Home Depot. I believe these are the “newer” version of the ones I have as mine are a bit older. www.homedepot.com/p/FIRM-GRIP-Medium-Gray-Women-s-General-Purpose-Synthetic-Leather-Glove-55290-06/305858939 I’m glad you are getting something from them!

Do you use a dry brush when blending? Or just paint the colors together until you have what you want?
@elegantupgrades
@elegantupgrades 2 жыл бұрын
I do all the things, Gaynette. For this one the colors were so similar I didn’t need a blank blending brush. I just used the individual ones for each paint color. I wasn’t worried about contaminating them. I’ll use a blank brush for when I’m working on a harder blend and I don’t want to muddy up my brushes because the colors are a bit farther away from each other in color or shade. I hope that made sense.

That’s so nice, Sharon, thank you! And I haven’t decided how much I’ll list this one for yet. I’m giving it a few days for the wax to cure up. While I don’t think it will sell quickly, I like it to be extra sturdy when I list on Etsy for shipping.

I think this may have originally been a sewing machine cabinet; I wonder if there is any evidence that the top was originally hinged on one side? Anyway, looks good now!
