We are here for this stunning Furniture Makeover! We will give you step by step instructions and all the products needed to create this exact Modern look. All your friends will be asking how you did it! 

Products Used:

• Cherbourg One-Hour Miracle Paint
• Clean Slate
• Wedge Brush
• 1.5" Chip Brush
• Artist Bush
• Dense Foam Roller
• Paint Roller Handle

Other Products Needed:

• Lint free rag
• Screw driver
• Hardware

Step One

Apply Clean Slate to the furniture using a dry lint free rag to properly clean and prep the furniture before painting. Remove the hardware from your furniture piece using a screwdriver. Once you have cleaned the furniture wait a few minutes for it to dry before painting. 

Step Two

Once the furniture piece has dried it is time to paint! Using the Wedge Brush and the Cherbourg One Hour Miracle Paint start painting your furniture piece. If there are smaller areas that the Wedge Brush cannot reach, use the 1.5" Chip Brush to paint those smaller sections. For the doors and drawers of the furniture use the Artist Brush to paint thin layers to provide a clean and finished look.

Step Three

Once the body of your furniture is finished paint the top of the furniture piece using a Dense Foam Roller and the Cherbourg One Hour Miracle Paint. Let it dry and then apply a second coat. 

Step Four

Add hardware of choice to finish up the furniture piece and tie it all together!

Step Five

Enjoy your beautiful Modern Furniture Piece!

We are here for this stunning DIY to replicate the Malachite pattern. We will give you step by step instructions and all the products needed to create this exact pattern on any surface. Bring this gorgeous look into your home on your next furniture flip, as an art piece, or as an accent like we did. You'll be amazed how easy it is to copycat this look.

Products Used:

• Acrylic Glacier Resin
• Colorants (White, Pine Green, and Black)
• Silicone Measuring Cups (or disposable plastic cups)
• Artist Brush (or wooden craft sticks to stir)

Other Products Needed

• Round Wooden Tray (this technique can be done on any surface or shape)
• Cardboard or Drop Cloth
• Three Small Disposable Plastic Cups
• Hair Dryer or Heat Gun

Step One

Mix equal parts Resin Part A and Hardener Part B. Mix enough resin to fully coat the desired surface area. You may measure Parts A and B out separately to be sure your amounts are exact and then combine into one container. Stir until thoroughly mixed (at least five minutes). 

Step Two

Place the tray or surface on top of the cardboard or drop cloth. If you are applying this technique to a table top or other defined area, tape off the edges and make sure there is a disposable cloth to catch any resin running off the sides.

Once thoroughly mixed, pour a coat of resin onto your surface. Use the Artist brush to spread it out and cover the whole surface area. Allow to sit for twenty to thirty minutes while you move on to the next step and color the remaining resin. 

Step Three

Once thoroughly mixed, pour the resin in equal amounts into your three small disposable plastic cups. You will know color the resin. 

Cut off the very tips of the Colorant bottles. Starting with the Black Colorant, add one to two drops at a time into the first cup of resin and mix well until the color is fully incorporated. You may continue to add drops and mix until the desired color is reached or the color is no longer translucent (no more than ten drops total). Repeat with the second cup of resin and the Pine Green Colorant. For the third cup of resin, add in several drops of both Pine Green and White Colorant (you want a lighter version of the Pine Green). You can play with this until you get the desired affect (no more than ten drops total). 

Once completed, you should have one cup each of colored resin in Black, Pine Green, and lighter Pine Green.

Step Four

Pour the Black colored resin onto the surface in long stripes. This is where you can get creative and play with it until you get the desired effect. Once the Black is poured, allow it to sit for twenty to thirty minutes. 

Complete the same process for the Pine Green and lighter Pine Green colors. Pour in sweeping lines and allow each color to sit for twenty to thirty minutes.

Apply as much or as little of each color as you want to see come through. We applied equal amounts of each color for our end piece.

Step Five

Once the final layer has been allowed to sit for twenty to thirty minutes, take the hair dryer or heat gun and use to combine the colors and manipulate for the desired effect. For a more striking and defined look, apply less heat. For a more combined effect and to blend the colors, use more heat to manipulate them together. 

Finally

Allow to dry for at least twenty four hours before displaying or putting to use.
Enjoy the Bragging Rights of your new Malachite Tray!

Toscana Milk Paint allows you to easily recreate the iconic historic patina found on European antiques. Each carefully curated pigment is sourced from Italy and the South of France to provide superior finish, color, and vibrancy. Whether you are a beginner or an expert purist, you are sure to fall in love with Amy’s favorite finish!

Inspired from Amy's time in Italy, Toscana Milk Paint allows you to easily recreate the historic patina found on European antiques. In the past, you had to search for years or spend thousands to find a piece with this kind of elegance and drama. Now you can recreate this iconic historic patina with Toscana Milk Paint powder.

Amy's Tip: Ensure you are working with the smoothest paint mixture possible by straining your Toscana Milk Paint and water mixture through gauze to remove clumps before you begin.

Toscana Milk Paint must be sealed with a wax or the Matte Sealer to complete the finish.

Use the Amy Howard at Home Toscana Milk Paint Binder to increase adhesion of the Amy Howard at Home Toscana Milk Paint to glass, metal, and other painted surfaces.

Our silicone molds have a natural release and do not stick. Simply pour in your mixture of 2 parts resin with 1 part hardener, and mix well for 3 minutes. Pour into the mold and allow to dry overnight. Pop out your design and apply with super glue to your frame, furniture, or decorative object. The detail on our molds will be quite exquisite due to the depth in each. You can use these molds over and over again. Using the Resin recipe with only half the hardener will allow your designs to be flexible and be placed beautifully over curved surfaces.

If you prefer using air dry clay in lieu of resin, you will notice some shrinkage and cracking. Be aware that air dry clay will not give you the detail that you can get with Resin.

Amy loves using Decorative Molds for baking: adding detail to cookies, cakes, etc. We suggest keeping your food molds separate from ones that you prefer to use for painting and creating.
