Fair Meadow Place: Before & After

December 06, 2017

We have been getting ready for Christmas at the city house, but, have managed to get side-tracked with a couple of projects.

I wanted a new look for the fireplace and decided to paint it.

Below is the Before picture.

There is only one window in this room so there is not too much light. We also have some dark wood furniture pieces.

It is time to lighten up.

I am so happy with the results.

Below are the products I used.

I used a custom mix of Rustoleum Chalked Linen White and Aged Grey paint.

It took two coats to cover the dark stain.

I finished it with one coat of Rustoleum Chalked Matte Clear to protect the paint.

You can find this line of products HERE, HERE, and HERE.

I find this brand easy to use and easy to clean up with water.

They sell a range of pre-mixed colours or dark and light tint bases for custom colours.

They also sell spray Chalked paints as well as waxes for finishing.

The drying time between coats is about two hours so I was able to complete the two coats of paint plus the Matte Clear all on the same day.

Thank you for stopping by.
