    @bunnylou4993 2 роки тому +7

    To avoid the white primer showing through the finish, have your paint supplier tint the primer slightly darker as a base for darker paint colors such as this green. A darker grayish primer undercoat would make a world of difference in this instance. :)

    When you first pulled out that green Melange paint, my first thought was "Oh, no! This is going to look like Korean War army surplus when she's done!" I couldn't have been more wrong. The green versus the red oak is a very nice look. I am quite fond of this piece. The finish that you chose is also a nice touch. Thanks for sharing this restoration with us. All of the time and work was worth it.

    I’ve used Melange several times. I like it except I find it very thin and I’ve always had to do three coats. Used Talley Green on a piece and then used it again but added in some black to tone it down. It’s just a bit bright for me. Love to watch your videos! Thanks for sharing your talent and ideas.

    Really nice. I like that green! I've been looking for an herb-y green color for some IKEA collapsible tables that I inheirited, they won't take stain because of the finish. I have a trick that I use in drawers. I always used pretty wrapping paper to line, but a damaged veneer inside one 1925 vanity drawer made me come up with this solution! I bought poster board at the dollar store and cut it to fit, then covered it with a contact paper, also from there, with a sweet floral pattern in a greige on white. Removable, and easily wiped with a damp cloth. They've been in thhove drawers SIX years!
