I LOVE when you all send me your before and after pics!  So this one is from Jan.  She bought the raw buffet from me, then took a class and finally got up the courage to tackle this beast!  This is what she used…

“I used Old Ochre, a coat of clear wax, then I distressed it with 220 sandpaper, and put on one more coat of clear wax. “

It looks amazing!  So don’t be afraid to jump in and start painting {and send me pics when you are done!}.  I just added a few paint classes for the summer check them out.
