Creating an aged look by blending chalk paint

In this video I am making over a secretary desk. I wanted to give it a very aged and weathered look. Therefore I used a blending technique with three different paint colours. One of these three colours was created by mixing three colours together, to achieve a dusty rose colour. So in fact, I used five colours in the Annie Sloan's chalk paint range.
You cand find all the materials used below.
Products used:
- Coco from Annie Sloan
- Scandinavian Pink from Annie Sloan
- Antionette from Annie Sloan
- Chateau Grey from Annie Sloan
- Graphite from Annie Sloan
- Redisign transfer Parisian Letter
- Clear wax from Annie Sloan

WOW, now that's an INCREDIBLE DESK!!!! I want to do a "BLENDED PIECE", but I must admit, I'm a bit intimidated!!!!

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much! 😊😊 I did another video with a blending technique where you can just use a kitchen sponge. It's the easiest way to blend paint. Here's the link to the video. I hope this technique is less intimidating... 😉 kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5raqaOjZd2rg8k

[@bonnysmith4908]

The texture is interesting. I have a desk I am trying to figure out a plan on.

[@New_Renaissance]

I love to play around with different kind of techniques. I'm refurbishing furniture since 2016 and still feel like I'm learning new things every time I work on another piece. I'm curious how your desk will turn out! 😊

[@amandajones6481]

I can't believe that someone painted that desk so the roller top was stuck inside! You did a brilliant job and the desk looks beautiful now. Thank you for this great video tutorial. I'm trying to upcycle my old bedside tables and I painted them, but I didn't sand back the old paint so the new paint is now chipping off! Aaagh 😅 Should I take all the paint off and just start again? Love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia

[@New_Renaissance]

Thanks a lot, Amanda. I'm afraid that you'll have to strip or sand down all the paint. When the previous coat didn't adhere very will, next coats won't resolve that problem unfortunately. 😕 Good luck with your project!!

[@jonispruit8877]

Beautiful. Did you clear coat the areas where you did the transfers? Because I done transfers before and learned that I needed to clear coat before. Because the transfer messed up because I didn’t. Paint and transfer came off at the same time. Let me know. I used Dixie belle chalk paint also. Ty and IOD transfers.

[@New_Renaissance]

Hi Joni, no I just applied the transfer on top of the dried chalk paint. You should let the chalk paint dry 24 to 48 hours before you put on the transfer. Once the trandfer was on, I protected everything with clear wax. You could opt to protect everything with a water based sealer, though.

[@davidmoroz1208]

Это очень красиво❤❤❤

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much! 🙏😊

[@DjFryni]

It's beautiful! Great job! Could you please inform me what is the tool that take off the old paint? I want to buy one. Thank you very much!

[@New_Renaissance]

Thank you so much! 🙏❤️ The sandblaster is from Datona. I think it's a Dutch brand. I don't know if it's avaliable where you live. 😊

[@DjFryni]

@@New_Renaissance Thank you very much!
