In need of a major update, this decades old buffet was calling out quietly yet desperately for a much needed makeover. After cleaning and properly prepping, a base coat of GF Empire Gray Chalk Style Paint was applied, followed by a custom created glaze in a metallic finish, highlighted with GF French Vanilla and finally, glammed up with some shiny silver leaf. The top of this buffet is a custom mix of GF French Vanilla Chalk Style Paint and GF Walnut Water base stain applied as a wash. After all of this prettying up she was ready for her final finish of several coats of High Performance Top Coat in Satin to truly bring back her glow.
