What color paint is that?

Whenever I share a project I get a ton of emails and questions about the

paint colors I used and how the finish was applied.

There really isn’t an easy answer because I mix all my own colors

with the paints I have on hand.

I started doing this because I live in a rural area and a trip to town takes about two hours round trip.

So, it isn’t always feasible to run to the home improvement store to pick up

paint whenever the mood strikes.

I have about four main colors that I usually mix from and a few other ones like white and etc.

The four main colors are:

  medium grey, light grey,bluish grey, and a lighter bluish grey.

The best way to achieve the look of an antique piece is to apply the paint in different layers

along with sanding and dry brushing.

I also use dark wax and clear wax on all the pieces to seal them

when I have achieved the desired look.

Have a great weekend!!!!
