 Next, I primed my piece with grey paint. You can use a grey primer or even a paint color like Hurricane which is a dark grey. The reason for this is that priming with grey first prevents you from having to apply 5 coats of red. However, Country Chic paint does have great coverage.  I then got to start the fun part which was paint this buffet in this gorgeous red. I did about two coats of red and had lots of paint left over which was a bonus for me. While the paint dried, I made a new top to add onto the original top because I love the wood grain that solid wood shows and I stained it with ebony stain, which paired beautifully with the red.   Once the paint was dry I sealed the paint with Country Chic Paint’s Clear Coat using a Painting Sponge. It was very easy to use and went on so smoothly. If you see that you missed a little or there are some streaks, don’t worry. You will get those areas with your second coat. I also top coated the top wood surface.     Once it had dried I added a black wax in the areas that I wanted shaded. Make sure to wipe the excess off lightly afterwards and buff it until it feels dry and no longer tacky. And that’s it for this piece. I absolutely love it and wish I had the space to keep it! leave a comment and tell me what you think

Hello everyone! I knew I wanted to paint a hutch as soon as I received the colour, Cut a Rug. I started by sanding down the top surface of the bottom hutch, and then used Ebony stain to stain the wood. Once I had the hutch sanded and cleaned, I took out the glass shelving and panels and got priming. I did two coats of primer and I painted about 2-3 coats of paint.  I used my spray bottle of water to spray onto the paint where I wanted darker shading and I used Rocky Mountain. I used my Country Chic Paint brush to apply the paint and blend in the colours. Once the pant was dry I sealed it with Country Chic Paint’s Clear Coat which I found very easy to apply and durable. You can use a sponge or brush to apply it.  For the back wall, I used Elmer’s spray glue to stick the wallpaper sheets to the back. Make sure you wait at last 24 hours for the clear coat to cure before you place the top hutch onto the bottom part.   At the end I painted the hardware in rocky mountain and sealed with Clear Coat. Overall this hutch turned out so beautiful and I love it!     |
