Rustic Glam: What Do You Need?

Here you will find photos of all the materials used as well as links to each of them for reference or to purchase. While you will not necessarily need to get the exact same products this will provide reference. Of course troubleshooting and guidance is easier however, with the same products in use.

Paints. I am going blue! however you may opt for a different scheme, You will want a Deep tone, a Med-Light tone and possibly a lighter tone (I used the lighter tone for highlighting although you can likely mix white with either color to create your own highlighter) and likely black or a very deep grey for the antiquing color wash.

Hardware Tip

I typically don’t like my hardware to look one dimensional. So when there’s an opportunity to take advantage of the antiqued crevices i usually do. For this hardware I chose to use flexible sandpaper to remove the patina from the high points. Then to clean and shine I took a brush and worked in some furniture salve. I then buffed that away with a soft cloth.
