How do I finish furniture in the antique primitive style?
My husband, a wonderful carpenter, is going to build an entertainment center to completely enclose all his modern looking electronics since they don’t match my country primitive living room! I need suggestions on where to find information on how to finish it in the primitive style – well used and instantly old! I think I want to do a two tone finish – a dark red under black, but am unsure whether to crackle finish it or distress the edges, etc. Any suggestions?
Well, if you wanna crackle finish with red underneath and black on top…..
Paint on the red first, then a 50/50 mix of regular old white glue and water, brush that on, let it dry, then paint on the black. After you paint it on, dry it with a hair dryer and you get the same finish as you would with the more expensive crackle finish paints. Trust me, been there, done that.. and I saw the same thing being done on HGTV a few weeks ago.
If you just want a simple distressed finish, or an old worn finish. Its a matter of doing a two tone finish, or a one tone. Depending on the look you wanna go for.
All you gotta do is paint the edges with the under tone, that is if you want a 2 tone finish. Then paint with the overcoat, and lightly sand the edges to expose the under coat. Finish with a good spray on type varnish or poly-eurethane.
