First you take a cute lil' smoking stand,who doesn't love them...
Then you take your favorite stenciland slather on the joint compound with a wide plastic trowel...
Then remove stencil and let dry for 30 minutes...
First coat of paint...
Second coat of paint...
Then sand and distress. I don't go over the stenciled partwith sander, I just leave it alone.
You can put a poly finish on or leave as is,
which is what I do, 'cause I like the fingerprints and
grime of the ages...instant antiquity!!!
Add a little ironstone bowl of whateverand your piece is good to go!
Love it , you are very clever I would never have thought of doing the stencil.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit and your nice comment on my blog. The lily in my profile photo is a Glory Lily. It grows like a vine and the flowers are gorgeous. If it's the same plant, it isn't so proliferous here, probably too short and cool a season.
