Let's take 2 thrifted finds and completely make them over using 2 different techniques. One will be creating texture and using IOD transfers. The other will be to create an antique look using a blending paint technique. 🎨

Hi Andrea, The antique print on that board with all the distressing came out beautiful. Liked the blending of the 2 colors. I have to try it. The way you added the transfer to the matte gave it a lot of character. Another beautiful piece. Iam sure both will sell fast. Hope you had a great weekend.😊🐞❄️Mine was a snowy one

Have you used the DIY waxes? I saw you were using Waverly and there is just SUCH a difference. I'd be happy to buy you some to try if you haven't yet! Love your projects girl❤❤❤

Super quick words of wisdom, if you will lol, whatever you do.... DON'T put TOO MUCH salt in your home made salt wash texture paint 🤪😂😂🤦‍♀️ Yes, from experience, omggggggg...... I actually threw the shelf unit out, lol! It was SOOO much to sand off and being in an apartment, well, it not only made such a mess, but salt sticks REALLLLLYYYYY well. Lol! I was going to bring it to my dad's garage and use his air tools, lol, but I kept forgetting it at home and after 7 months of sitting here, I just tossed the dang thing. Lol, I put so much work into prepping it too, lol!!!! Ugh, lesson learned. I was actually so afraid of making that mistake again, I ended up buying the salt wash kit, however it's pretty expensive and only wanted to give it try to see if it's that much better. I think the key is.... Just don't add too much, sometimes less truly is more 😂😂

Ok, let me first say that I'm not criticizing, I'm just trying to learn. What was the reason for putting the white wax over the dark blue on that plaque and then going over that with two paints? Thank you ❤

@thecutestlittlething 5 ай бұрын

That's fine! Great question. One reason I like to do that technique is that it helps blend paint sooo much better. It changes the look and gives it a layering look. Also, Waverly doesn't have a built-in sealer, so using those waxes also creates that sealer to protect your piece!

@PaigeNicoleKomar 5 ай бұрын

Oh ok. Thank you so much! Didn't realize paint would even adhere over wax so I was so lost 🤔 love learning from you guys... You did a beautiful job on all of it! Watching a second time to make sure I didn't miss anything ❤❤❤

I did the same technique with the coarse salt, baking soda, and paint. Even after letting it all dry over night, it caused my water based clear coat to congeal instantly upon touching my paint. Any idea why this happened?!?!

@thecutestlittlething 5 ай бұрын

I'm so sorry, I just saw your comment! That is a good question and I'm not quite sure..Let me do a little research and I'll see if I can figure something out!

@thecutestlittlething 5 ай бұрын

Maybe it was the water-based clear coat. Next time, maybe try waxes to seal. You could also try just salt or just baking soda. The other day, I did a texture paint with just salt, and I loved the outcome!
