It will look beautiful in your home as a vanity...or in someone else's home if you sell it at your shop.<br /><br />I am loving your blog - I am following you now and have bookmarked your site.<br /><br />I am a decorative artist by trade and am now setting my sights on creating more furniture beauty. I have painted and antiqued some much furniture for clients in the past 13 years that I have been doing faux finishing/decorative painting - but I didn't take many before (and sometimes no afters!!). I could kick myself now that I have a blog!!!<br /><br />I saw that you had posted on another blog that you sometimes add plaster to your paints. I've never done that - though I have done many a wall with authentic Venetian Plaster. So - I have to try that. Your grandfather's work - I have to re-look at some of those films now so I can take it in!! So jealous of your lineage!!<br /><br />I have experimented with adding an extender to synthetic Venetian Plaster - and that has worked very well. It shines up nicely without having to wax it like you have to do with Chalk Paint.<br /><br />When you add the plaster - are you using Venetian Plaster - because of the lime? Would love to know!!<br /><br />Thanks for all of your inspiration and beautiful finishes etc on your blog. <br /><br />Linda<br /><br />http://www.studioofdecorativearts.blogspot.comLinda Leyblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345437844014740242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6407028139887424579.post-52129015770610586602012-06-09T14:24:06.481-07:002012-06-09T14:24:06.481-07:00Oh SO gorgeous!
