Wot I got done this weekend.

Take a pine varnished plate rack and cover it in two coats of Wickes chalk paint, colour Grizzly.

Then rub the edges with candle grease where you want it to look as if it has aged. Then do two top coats of Wickes chalk paint, colour Harvest Moon.

 

 

Rub along the edges gently with some sandpaper to remove the painted bits with candle grease.
Then rub some clear wax varnish into the whole piece and buff off. Then voila!

I will be repainting my bedroom in a couple of weeks so will show you the finished article complete with junk and stuff! It's only taken me about 15 years to paint this piece, but it is very useful for hanging jewellery, bags etc. I am quite chuffed with it. :)

Au Revoir until next time.
