So my newest reinvention using Amy Howard milk paints. I showed my class how to layer color and antique for an aged patina. Even on a piece with more contemporary lines!

Before and after shots of a chest I reinvented using Amy Howard one step paint in Bauhaus buff, cartouch green on inside of drawers and cabinet. Over that I used 2c Amalfi Coast Milk Paint to 1/2c Noir then waxed. Inside the drawer, I modge Podged an Audobon print as a surprise for my husband who is an outdoorsman. Gold leafing on the existing hardware was the final touch!

Toward the end of the shots are shots of me using antiquing medium and I didn't like the look. I think I was a bit too heavy handed with the application! The nice bit is I just did another coat of milk paint and then waxed the piece with Light and Dark antiquing wax. DONE!

Oh my goodness! I know what I want to do for my family for Christmas. I used to see Eglomise tables when I was at market and always thought they were so elegant.
