Distressing

As some of you know, I just got back from Sonoma County CA for a paint workshop with Anne Skougaurd... I learned soooo much!! I cannot wait to go to the next one. I love learning new way to paint and distress and love new products :)

For this little cabinet I was going for a weathered look, like peeling paint... got this at the Habitat for Humanity store:
As you may know, I am the Southern Oregon Retailer for CeCe Caldwell clay and chalk paints and with this paint, there is NO priming or Sanding! yay!!

so I first painted the top with Spring hill green (CeCe paint) let dry, then painted on a deep turquoise latex paint from Lowe's... then i let dry and painted on Destin Gulf Green--kindof blobbed it on is spots i was going to wipe off for the layered look (CeCe paint) then let dry..
I then sanded with a dewalt sander - I then waxed with CeCe wax and DONE!!
