One of my favorite faux finishes to create. I didn’t want it shiny so used matte for this one. Then I gave it one light coat of a matte sealer. Once that was dry, I went back in and rubbed some of the gold gilder’s paste here and there on some of the high points. It would have been better to wait a few days in between because as you can see below the watery paint mixture is not wanting to adhere to the freshly painted vase.īut that actually worked to my advantage as I didn’t want to cover it up completely anyway! Then I mixed up some paint and water to apply over top. I’m always sharing in my stories as I’m doing projects, finding new furniture, fun finds….just all the day to day behind the scenes.

I considered spraying it a dark bronze but thought copper might be a fun change up and more along the lines of a true patina finish and look. Instead of just starting with the dark above (it was actually a dark red which doesn’t show in the photo well), I decided to spray it, copper.

Aqua colored paint (a chalk style paint works best, in my opinion…I used Annie Sloan Provence).
