So I have two custom orders I am working on right now, one is a 12 drawer French dresser with two matching Nightstands. I made the mistake of using chalk paint with this one, because she wanted it to be super glossy. And yes I know you can add sheen to chalk paint with the wax, but one I had not used it to buff that muck before and two I used way too much hoping to get it glossy. A d now I am having this issue of where I tried to get the excess wax off I ended up taking some of the paint with it and it isn't distressed so this is an issue.
No matter how many times I have painted it and waxed and sanded these small little corners are coming off and I just don't know what to do.....my plan is to petit sit for a few days paint it again....let it sit and then wax again and hopefully I will not have this issue again! Or I will scream. It looks do pretty in pictures though doesn't it.
The next project shabby chic full set....
The other was also using chalk paint, but it was distressed so much easier. The chalk paint is so easy when it comes to distressing....yet messy. I was using old white so with all the dust I looked like a ghost I was so covered. I should have taken a picture, but then of course I distressed too much. And had to paint and distress again..l.and wax again, bit this time with the help of my little one.
It ships out Mondays hole she loves it!
