Kathy started off by applying Clean Slate to strip the piece of any oils, wax, or grease.
Step 2: Apply the base coat
Next up is the base coat, Kathy applied two coats of Stella One Step Paint.
Step 3: Apply the top color
Kathy chose Parisian Gray One Step as the color for the top of the piece and applied it. She applied two coats of this as well. You can see how the piece is coming along in the photo below!
Step 4: Accent Mix
Mix equal parts of Aubergine One Step Paint and water. Apply this mix to detail edges.
Step 5: Additional Accents
Kathy mixed Black One Step Paint and Mind Your Own Beeswax to add additional detail. She offloaded her brush before applying to the piece.
Step 6: Blend In Black Accents
Mix Cerusing Wax and Stella One Step Paint to blend in the darker accents.
Step 7: Dust of Ages
Kathy then applied Dust of Ages to the waxed areas to add detail.
Step 8: Gild The Hardware
Apply Gilding Size to the hardware and let it come to tack. Then wrap the hardware in Silver Leaf. Finish off the hardware by sanding it with 0000 steel wool.
Step 8: Finishing Touches
Finish the piece off by applying and buffing in Mind Your Own Beeswax!
