side table


grey bedside cabinet


corner cabinet

I've bought the unit as new but didn't really like the colour...wanted to add some age to the wood -
I'm very happy with the result...
How I did it:
grey paint (chalky) on wet cloth and on the wood (wait a while till the paint starts to dry and then remove with another wet cloth - remove as much as you like). I repeated the process a few times (in some places) till I was happy with the greyish effect.
On the door: transfer
All protected with a satin varnish...
