Happy Wednesday! Today I'm sharing an upcycle from a recent estate sale find...
{DecoArt provided the chalk paint, acrylic and wax used in this post. All opinions are my own!}
Remember this urn? It was a bargain and in excellent condition-- just a little blah!
I knew right away I wanted to use Americana Decor chalk paint. I fell in love with the product when I used it for one of my favorite and most viewed projects...
...these thrift store chairs.

This is my favorite shade, Vintage. It has excellent coverage and is very reasonably priced. I applied it with a sponge brush.
Next, I dry brushed Americana White Wash acrylic to accent details.
Once it dried, I used a soft cloth to wipe on the wax.
Finally, I added colorful petunias!
Have fun creating!
MY HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE FOLLOWING FOR FEATURING THIS POST:

ReplyDeleteYour urn is so lovely and it looks like you might of paid big money for it if I didn't know better. I love the way you did the paint job. I just love chalk paint. Hugs, Jo
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried that brand of chalk paint yet. So you really like it? How far does a jar go? The urn looks good in its new coat of paint!
