Cheap Sconces that now look like stone..on accident.

I learn more by just jumping in and trying.  I fail a lot, but I learn from it so it is not a total waste.  My walls are now medium gray with blue undertones. My kitchen cabinets are pearl with an ebony glaze. I needed something to stand out with out being to dark. These guys are going to go under my cabinets and hold my papertowels and a hand towel. I couldn’t bring myself to drill holes in my new cabinets and I have no wall space by the sink.   The plaster Sconces where 1.99 each and look nice but feel cheap. (Ignore the Dirty shop floor..Yuck!)

I painted them with “My Old Front Porch” Chalk Paint in Midnight black. Then I mixed Antique White with Martha Stewarts Metallic Glaze in Mercury and brushed on with a chip brush. Wiped off with a paper towel. Had to put a drop of water on the paper towel for spots that dried to fast. WARNING: Work in small sections, sometimes these glazes will dry fast and you need to have something real wet on hand to wipe off mistakes.    

I will be doing the same wash on the curtain rod….eventually.
