How to add gilding wax.<\/h1>\n

That extra special something for furniture finishes.<\/h2>\n

I created a quick and easy video to show how easy it is to add gilding wax. I demonstrated on a beautiful blue, ornate sideboard I have had sitting waiting for a decision on final touched.<\/p>\n

This is the photo of the sideboard before painting.<\/p>\n

I will update with a tutorial post showing the stages later. I learned a lot on this sideboard and discovered a wonderful new paint finish along the way.<\/p>\n

This is a close up of the paint finish.<\/p>\n

I’m usually pretty decisive when I approach each stage of the furniture finishes but on this, I just couldn’t decide if I should stop at the fresco finish or keep going.\u00a0 My dilemma was do I add gilding wax or not.\u00a0 the sideboard already boasted a wonderful European milky fresco finish. It was beautiful and unique all on its own. To add gilding wax may have been over-kill.<\/p>\n

Eventually I caved in and submitted to the lure of gold gilding once again.\u00a0 I don’t regret it either. I’m glad I added just a touch more elegance.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the difference a little gold finger action makes!<\/p>\n
