I started out with a coat of ASCP French Linen. I brushed it on pretty sloppy and so I could get texture. I let that dry and gave it a coat of ASCP Old Ochre and followed that with a coat of Old White. I also gave the hardware a coat of Old White.
I took the sander to it and gave it a good distressing to let the 2 undertones really show through! I loved working on this piece. It was one of those pieces that I couldn't wait to get finished.
I watched the Annie Sloan YouTube channel on how to get the texture that I had been seeing all over Pinterest. If you haven't watched any of these videos, they are really helpful.
I loved this piece so much, I kept it! It now has a home in our kitchen.
Gorgeous! I would have kept it too!! :)
