This week’s Before & After comes from Painting Guru and shop manager, Christina. She transformed this beautiful old church pew and brought it to life using Chalk Paint. 

Christina started by painting the bench in French Linen. To add some dimension and brighten up her piece, she added a wash of Old White. Once it was dried completely dried, she distressed it to allow some of the wood tones to show through. She topped it off with a coat of clear wax.  Doesn’t it look incredible?!

Are you ready to try out a color wash yet? Stop in and grab your materials or buy them online here. Then check back in Thursday for our Tip of the Week, which just so happens to be a Color Washing “How to.” Remember to send us your Before & Afters for a chance to be featured on the blog.

Happy Painting!
