Project - Chalk Clay Paint and a Small Shelf

I am slowly working up to a bigger piece of furniture where I actually sand off paint to show the colors underneath. I've messed around with chairs and a sanding sponge but a Welsh Cupboard or any number of dressers have remained 'painted not aged'.

This small laminated display shelf has the miniature look of a larger piece without the sheer volume of a cabinet or hutch or china cupboard.

It has been a good project for practicing sanding edges that would have shown age wear. A small shelf with glassed doors for ornaments. This group is from my collection of 1940's era Japanese figures.

Before and after. 

The little cabinet had a laminate surface that took well to two coats of CeCeCaldwell Chalk Clay paint. I used Simply White. Its size is about 14" tall by 24" wide.

The inside shelves were painted with CeCeCaldwell Santa Fe Turquoise mixed with Simply White.

CeCeCaldwell Clear wax. I love the short handled wax brush for working in tight spaces.

I did finish scraping the rest of the paint and wax from the windows after I took the photos. 

A small piece of furniture.

Thanks for visiting.

See you again on Monday
