Christina  painted a beautiful display hutch using Tarnish Platter.  Her choice of color completely transforms this piece and it would be lovely in any home and will take center stage!  Christina said, “Tarnished platter is a great color. This hutch sold within a week! Tarnished platter over cannonball, lightly distressed and finished with wax and a little black mica”.

American Paint Company Chalk Clay and Mineral paints are perfect for layering colors and replicating beautiful finishes that appear to have been around for ages.

Karen Gideon shares an excellent example of her well painted layered finish!  Karen used, Tarnished Platter over Desert Cactus and sealed it with top coat, then she used a champagne glaze to craft her design and we love this dramatic look!

Another beautifully elegant buffet by Shelly, she never disappoints us with her creative application of paint and finishes.  Shelly used, “Tarnished Platter, white glaze, clear wax and in some areas where I got a little carried away with the white glaze, I mixed some tarnished platter in with the wax”.
