    The finish on the furniture was really slick so we sanded just a little before starting the paint process.

    To lighten up the set Shane and Lexi chose Reclaim paint in off-white.

    Such a cute couple…..newlyweds.

    They distressed the furniture by hand.

    I have to say that I love the distressing on the stools.

    The area around the screws looks really nice as opposed to just ugly screw holes.

    They distressed the table top heavily too.

    We don’t just paint in our workshops.

    We also demonstrate stenciling and metal leaf techniques.

    The metal leaf is always fun.

    Lexi was impressed with the metal leaf process.

    It’s an easy update for brass or other outdated looks.

    Well, that’s it for the workshop.

    What do you think of distressed furniture?

    You guys know I love it but I also know it’s not to everyone's taste.

    And that’s perfectly ok.

    Have a great day,

    Kathy

      How do you find the perfect furniture pieces? I use Goodwill and the Salvation Army. One of my worries is getting an old item with many layers of paint which could eventually contain lead. How do you make sure you are getting the safest pieces and what precautions do you take in your refurb projects?

      I would like to try the Reclaim paint. I don't know of a stockist in my area, but one of these days I will order. Love the color.

      Great job on the table and stools. I've always liked the look of metal leafing, especially on mirror frames and jewelry boxes.
