Costs of this project. The unit itself was picked from the trash and that equals free. The clark and Kensington paint usually runs $6.00 for the sample cans but in March they were all .99 cents. (I used half the sample can), the stain was $.6.00, and the annie sloan soft wax was given to me so I have no idea how much that would typically cost, but I know annie sloan is expensive and I am a cheap wad, so if I didn't have it on hand I just would not have used it. |

This was a book shelf-storage shelf that I picked out of someones trash and brought it home. It's been sitting in my barn for a few years waiting for me to do something with it. It is solid wood, and part of it has a very old dark green paint on it. Very ugly! |
|
I started by cleaning it up really good, and I stained the wood with a stain color called drift wood. I added a coat of Clark and Kensington satin enamel called Velvet Curtains. |
|
This was after the 2nd coat of Velvet Curtains paint. I decided that I wanted to stain to be darker so I stained over it with a stain color called Kona. I like it darker much better. I used old brushed nickel cupboard handles that I had in a jar in the barn from a previous house we owned. |
|
This is the finished product. I went over the entire thing, including the Velvet Curtains color paint with a dark soft wax by annie Sloan. The wax helped to tone down the brightness of the daylight paint. |
|
It now sits in my hunting prep room and holds some of our camo gear and other hunting supplies. It matched my gun case also. |
Supplies:
* The project object
* Clark and Kensington sample can of Velvet curtains color
* Rust-oleum wood stain in Kona color
