Use Coastal Candy to create a stunning Farmhouse inspired set of lamps.
These ugly lamps were free with some second-hand tables I had purchased. I didn’t see any use for them at first glance, but then inspiration struck, why not transform them into something I could use.
This was fast, easy and of course therapeutic. Give me a paintbrush and stress just melts away.
Before
Clean thoroughly.
Mix
I mixed Coastal Candy into Shabby Paints Garfield Grey until it was the consistency of icing. (Coastal Candy How To)
Mixing Chart
Paint | Coastal Candy |
---|---|
4 oz. | 1/4 cup |
8 oz. | 1/2 cup |
16 oz. | 1 cup |
Quart | 2 cups |
Apply
I applied by randomly dabbing, brushing and globbing this mixture onto the entire lamp base. Random strokes make for a more authentic finish.
Enhance & Protect
After it was completely dry, I applied Shabby Paints white reVAX with a soft bristle brush to add dimension.
Perfect
That’s it, that easy! Now I need to hunt down better shades or paint these ?
Stay Tuned!
