Vintage Look

Give an open-air wall shelf a distressed, vintage look!

 
 

You will need:
- Any wooden wall shelf
- American Accents Primer
- American Accents Spring Green paint
- American Accents Distressed Ivory Kit
Included in the kit: Ivory base coat - Antique top coat - Sanding pad - Gloves - Paint brush
Idea booklet


Here's how:
Using the brush supplied in the kit, paint the entire cabinet with American Accents Primer and let dry.

Paint the inside of the cabinet with the American Accents Spring Green paint.

Apply the ivory base coat to the outside of the cabinet and let dry.

Carefully accent what you would like on the outside of the cabinet in the American Accents Spring Green paint. On our cabinet we outlined the windowless frame and painted the reliefs on the top edge. Allow to dry.

Use the enclosed sanding pad to distress the surface and the edges. Pay special attention to areas that might naturally receive wear and tear, including the edges, corners, and trim details. In some areas, drag the sanding pad across the surface to scuff.

Brush on the antiquing top coat and immediately wipe the surface with a clean rag to give it an old vintage feeling.
