debis design diary

So when a client wants a colorful furniture makeover we can go a couple of different ways. OR, as in this case, we can try to create a look that mimics a primitive paint finish. Whether you are new to painting furniture, or even if you’re a seasoned pro, this tutorial will show you how easy it is to get great results with Debi’s Design Diary DIY Paint. I will help you learn how to mix colors together to create a beautifully blended finish, as well as how to layer different colors to create depth and interest. I’m a book worm,  and my favorite thing to do is spend quite hours working away and pondering life.

Use a glue that dries clear, my favorite is Aleene’s tacky glue, it will take several days to dry but it’s non toxic and very strong. I didn’t use an epoxy mainly because it’s has a slight foggy look when it dries and I wanted to avoid fumes. I’ve used this glue to make a 12 foot by 8 foot seashell mirror for Extreme Makeover on ABC. Founded in 2015 by Parrish Cameron Robe Chilcoat, Cameron Design Group believes that one’s home should be a joyful sanctuary.

Step 6- Apply your Topcoat of choice (Wax or Acrylic)

Just make sure that at the end of this process you no longer see any wood showing through. We want full coverage now even if some of our layers were thin and some were thick. In the video, you can see that I am blending colors next to each other as well as blending my top layer with my bottom layer.

I waited too long to find the courage to do what my heart told me, I was 40 before I discovered that fear is a liar and sometimes what you think is going to be scary is amazingly simple and easy…. DIY paint is easy to layer and distress, no sandpaper needed, just a clean damp cloth.

I do this by applying a light mist over my whole piece which mimics the tonal change I will get when I apply the wax. Your piece will not end up this dark but the water will give you a sneak peep into the blend that you have created. This layer will mostly be hidden when we are all done but that does not mean it's not an important layer. For this client, we are creating a bold but still rustic and somewhat distressed paint finish. If temperatures fall below freezing, and in order to ensure that your receive your paint in good condition, DIY paint will ship on Mondays through Wednesdays only, via Priority Mail.

If you have ordered other non paint products in the same order, your entire order will be shipped at the same time. DIY Paint is a water-based paint that if allowed to freeze will lose it's properties. As we approach the winter season, I will be very selective in how and when I ship your paint orders.

After your basecoat is completely dry we are gonna start getting serious about where these colors are gonna go. Now in this piece, I am creating a light base and getting progressively darker. I've been dreaming about a step by step workshop, walking you through the process of creating engaging and entertaining videos for YEARS!
