Caromal Colours Reclaim Corners Cabinet

Look at this fabulous make over!

This is what we started with!  It used to sit on the landing in our home!

April removed the hardware and door and applied the first coat of Reclaim in Latte!

Here is April, happy that the second coat is done!!

Now for the knob!  April and Frank wanted the knob on the left!  A beauty that I picked up in May at a flea market, but I was not willing to let it go!  Selfish me!  So, I took the the middle knob and applied a coat of  Caromal Colours Textured Base Coat in Peppercorn.  Once dry, I applied Chipping Creme and let that dry.  The last coat was the Textured Base Coat in Putty.  I painted a teal colored circle in the middle to mimic the first knob.  April used a piece of metal and chipped off some of the paint to give it the aged look of the first one.  Do you like this?  We do!!!

April put the hindges, knob and latch back on!

I love it!

No work needed to the inside!

Finished!!  In one short afternoon!

My favorite part!!!

Frank & Debi's Painted Eggs

 Three dozen + painted wooden eggs.

 In an effort to clear out my basement studio storage, 

Frank and I tested our Caromal Colours on these wooden eggs.  

(if you order the paints online, remember to use my code DGS to get a discount on your shipping!)

Close ups show some of our techniques!

If you don't have wooden eggs you can use plastic ones.  

The paints stick just as well to the plastic as they do to wood!  

We like how they turned out! But they can be a challenge to paint!

We painted a base color on each egg, covering the entire egg and let them dry on a wire drying rack. Once dried we touched up the area of the egg that touched the wire rack.

I sanded each egg before we began the decorating details.

 The decorative details were the most fun of this whole process!  We dried them on the wire rack as well. I sanded them one more time, covered them with toner and my final step was waxing the eggs with Liberon Fine Paste Wax.

These are the mini baby eggs!  Aren't they so cute?

Hydrangea Tray using Caromal Colours Reclaim

Hydrangea Tray 18" in diameter.

This beautiful wooden tray was made in Sweden and had seen better days.

Using White Reclaim, I rolled the paint on both sides of this tray. Two coats were needed to cover the black splotch on the wood.

Caromal Colours has a wonderful large Hydrangea Stencil!

Using Caromal Colours Stencil Cremes I stenciled the flower using Lilac, Berry Blue and some Snowberry.
For the leaves I used Mossy Green and Mother Earth.

When the Stencil Cremes were dry I sanded the entire piece and used a scrapper to remove paint in areas, giving it age.

Toner was brushed over the entire piece and some was removed with a soft rag.

Two coats of varnish seal the tray so that is can be used as intended!
