Reblessed, LLC says "Pearl Effects are such a sophisticated way to add a metallic look to any item. We've used ours on furniture, lamps, picture frames, furniture trim, artwork, decor, and more. They can be applied as a solid metallic for a more bold "dipped" look or as a glaze for a more subtle look. We generously applied the Argentine Pearl and the Champagne Pearl over the Driftwood Milk Paint as a glaze. We then decided to add the Van Dyke Brown glaze over it to give the silver tones more...

Feast your eyes on this one of a kind beauty! "The Virgin, Jesus and Saint John Baptist by William-Adolphe Bouguereau 1875. I wanted to pay homage to The Madonna. A shrine, so to speak. And I wanted the fresco feel to it (especially on the panels) and gold leaf. Because, in Italy, everything is gold leafed. Lots of GF glazes on this. Clear, Burnt Umber, Van Dyke Glaze with Glaze Extender (which rocks)." - Diane of The Paint Factory LLC_

Awesome before and after from Team Sutton Designs_! After sanding off all the chipping paint, we a laid down 2 coats of General Finishes Enduro Sanding Sealer. I did this because no matter how much sanding we did, some areas where the veneer was removed was still rough and rugged. We essentially had to build a layer of sanding sealer to make a level surface for the paint. After the sealer had dried, I sprayed on 3 coats of General Finishes Milk Paint in Driftwood." I went over the detail...

Because I knew this chest wouldn't compete with a lot of decor, I chose to really doll it up by adding some of our great farmhouse items. We painted this chest per customer's request in Antique White with a light layer of Van Dyke...
