30-Minute Makeover: From the 80s to Today!

12/5/2017

0 Comments

 
I used to love these brass plaques back in the 80s; in fact I had one just like this displayed on my lounge wall.

For a while now I have been looking at these in charity stores thinking, one of these might look good painted. So, I picked one up last week, and on Saturday morning I gave it a fresh new look in 30 minutes.

Here's what I did:
1. Applied one coat of Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint in Ash.
2. Dried it off with a hairdryer for a few minutes.
3. Painted a second, slightly watered down coat.
4. Used the hairdryer again to dry it off.
5. Applied a wash of Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint in White. You can learn how to create a wash by watching my FREE Furniture Painting Workshop in my Facebook group. Join the group, then search 'free workshop' once you're a member and you can see the video.

What do you have around your home that you could transform in 30 minutes?

If you'd like to learn how to use Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint, then join a Paint Workshop today (online, in Tauranga or another New Zealand town).

    Hi I'm Kathryn,
    ​You're going to love how QUICK, EASY + AFFORDABLE it is to transform your furniture. With 
    Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint, a 3-in-1 that primes, paints and seals (it's not chalk paint) you won't need to sand, prime, wax or seal - just paint and you're done.

    I'm super-passionate about sharing what I know, about furniture painting and business.

    If you'd love to start a creative business I can help with that too.

    Enjoy!

I love the finish; it's more hard wearing than others and I don't have to wax!
