Hi guys! Are you tired of seeing red furniture yet? I really hope not because I have a few more custom red pieces I will be sharing in the next few days.
I posted this buffet on my facebook page a few weeks ago and it was snagged by Angie in record time. Angie liked the red dresser I did and she wanted this buffet painted red. (click here to see all of my red pieces).
BEFORE
AFTER
I used the same color combo as this dresser set.
I used homemade chalk paint (1 cup latex and 1/4 cup baking soda). The paint color I used is called Posh Red by Valspar and I used a glaze to darken it a little.
I added new hardware from Hobby Lobby, distressed along the edges and and sealed with Johnson's Paste Wax.
I have one more red piece to share with you next week and it's an old mission style rocking chair! Stay tuned.
BEAUTIFUL! love the red!

ReplyDeleteLove the red think it is a classic! Always inpressed with your pieces. Cn you share the brand/ color of the glaze you used. Many thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi, I actually use Kona stain as a glaze. If you haven't glazed before I would recommend just using glaze and not stain. Stain is hard to work with and glaze is super easy. Any black glaze should work though....I hope this helps!
DeleteThis is a beautiful piece and I love how you darkened the red a bit to make your own unique colour.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julie. I agree. The glaze works wonders!
DeleteOh wow, I love the red!! fabulous project.

ReplyDeleteI am so excited to find your blog. I am just starting to paint so I need all the tips I can get. I hadn't heard of using baking soda with the paint before - just unsanded grout and plaster of paris. Also, could you tell me what glaze you used and type of sandpaper? Your piece looks great! Thanks for sharing your process! I'm a new follower!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! New follower here :) keep up the great transformations!
ReplyDeleteDid you add the dark glaze to the paint or did you glaze it after painting.
ReplyDeletePS. Most beautiful work !!!
Did you sand first?
