HOW TO ANTIQUE PAINTED WOOD FURNITURE
PAINT FURNITURE
The first step is to paint the piece of furniture. I prefer to use latex paint and the best sheen would be flat, eggshell, or satin.
APPLY CAROMAL COLOURS TONER
The miracle product that makes antiquing easy is ....Caromal Colours Toner. This stuff goes a long way. The size is 16 ounce and you can do several pieces of furniture with one jar unless they are humongous.
This little table was perfect for the antiquing process because of the turned legs. Those beautiful turned legs collect the toner in all the right places.
REMOVE EXCESS CAROMAL COLOURS TONER
When you apply the toner there is an excess which is what you want. Next wipe the toner off to get the desired look.
Leave a lot of toner on the paint for a really aged look or wipe most of the toner off for a slightly worn look. Using a dry rag will leave more of the toner on the furniture.
