@@TheReclaimedHeirloom I was wondering if you have ever made your own salt wash, and if so, what was the result?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Belinda Anderson ... I have tried to make my own and it was “ok” it is a a bit of a science experiment and I felt I didn’t make quit the right make up but in all fairness by the time I buy the right ingredients and mix the cost is still the same. I tried a plaster of Paris and fine salt but the reaction was to dry when I added paint. It may work better with dry wall compound and salt but I haven’t tried that. Anything I do try in the future I am definitely going to sure any fun and easy results! 💙🎨

Hi Connie! Yes you can add saltwash to the doors if you like to add more texture to the final outcome similar to what I did to my doors in this project, just more of a preference. If you just have it on the outer edges of the furniture that's fine as well!Thank you very much! I hope you like today's video later today! See you soon! ❤️🎨🙏

Does the wax after the clear coat cure and dry? how long does it take to dry? Thank you!!!

[@soniabanwell6670]

Could u clarify if you are glazing directly on the chalk paint in this instance ? I was taught to seal first but your method if I’m understanding correctly is to use the clear glaze prior to the tinted glaze to allow movement? This is new to me and I’m intrigued to try it hope to hear from you with some clarification. 😍

[@heikesanchez9986]

It’s beautiful Christina! Can I use anything else instead of the acrylic glaze, if I don’t have this at home? Maybe Clear wax?

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Hi Heike!! Good question to get this look you will need the glaze. You could try a chalk paint color wash (1:1 water to paint ratio) ❤️🎨🙏

[@sallysmallwood4859]

Another gorgeous result, Christina! Q: How did you know you the original paint was oil-based? And did you shellac the interior wood because the piece is very old?

Christina wonderful color combination.i want to paint the main door of my house if you suggest me what colors to use in Greece we have a lot sunlight.Can you help me I appreciate your opinion very much thank you...i love your tutorials...

[@TheReclaimedHeirloom]

Popi Georgila ... thank you so much for your thoughtful comment Popi 🙏💙💙 Greece is an absolutely beautiful country! Your front door should be the colour that is a great representation of your home and has a beautiful decorative contrast to the exterior of your home. If your home has lots of colours then sometimes a bold black is what makes it pop! But on the opposite end of your home has more neutral tones this is where a good bright colour makes the invite! It’s tricky for me to gage a colour recommendation as I would have to see a photo (which would be great via Facebook or Instagram message) and I would be delighted to give a recommendation or inspirational thought 💭 It’s funny to read your comment as I too want to paint my front door into something more of a pop! A good idea is to get samples of your favourite colour ideas and paint them onto a sheet of paper and tape it to the door , walk away to study the colour against the door to how it feels from a small distance to the house exterior? Hope it helps ? And feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions 🤗💙💙
