    What a fun restoration this was! I have never done a victorian OR gothic style piece before and this one was BOTH! You'd never guess that the end result is the same piece that I started with. It only cost me $53 in products INCLUDING my brushes and non-power tools.
    The way this project turned out reminds me so much of the whimsically haunting things that ‪@ChristineHMcConnell‬ does. If you haven't heard of her, you might get a real kick out of seeing her art! She can make anything look whimsical. Even food!

      Chris Donna at Bella Renovare uses a stencil with gloss poly so it’s the same color but a different sheen and it looks awesome.

    @briannaoduinn8902 3 роки тому

    You did a great job. I'm always happy to see vintage and antique pieces saved from the landfill even when they are too far gone to save the finish - as this obviously was. I, too, have a few pieces that are destined to be painted. I personally prefer to save the wood finish, but obviously, that can't always happen - as with this piece. Thanks so much for sharing.

    • @DesertDIY

      @DesertDIY  3 роки тому

      Thank you! Black is the best color to do this contrast with although red does pop quite a bit as well. Most other colors are less contrasting but it does still create a gorgeous "ghosted" effect. The darker the color, the more the contrast usually
