ALEXA Tale of Two Tall Boys – Number One

Remember I had these two tall boys in my workshop last year, and I finished off the first one in blue (MMSMP Bergere to be exact) which you can read about HERE.

They were both this orange pine colour and in need of some sprucing up which is what I Restore Stuff is all about!Bergere Tall boy before-1437 smaller

A Tale of Two Tall Boys – Number Two

Here’s how the second tall boy turned out …

For this makeover, I stencilled one of our drawer stencils onto each of the drawers before painting, using Fusion Smooth Embossing Paste.smooth-embossing-paste-for-web-1030x1030

It is so easy to use, and you can mix it with Fusion colours to create a beautiful pearl raised texture on your painted surface.

This time, however, I used it straight onto our wood drawers with the stencil BEFORE painting them.

I recently filmed a video of this whole process, so will let you all know when the editing has been finished on that, so you can watch all the steps.
