How To's

Painting: When we paint our white cupboards, we use Tru-Value brand semi-gloss Country White and Antique White paint.  We paint the cupboards with Country White and then we dry brush Antique White over it to give it a two toned look.  Or you can paint it Antique White and dry brush Country White over it.  When you dry brush, you just dip your brush in the paint and scrape it off.  Then just lightly brush over the cupboard so it's not solid.   Our black items are painted with Black latex semi-gloss from Tru-Value.  After painting, we apply Deft over it.  Sometimes we rub off the paint on the high spots.

**If you want a little warmer look, add a little brown. 
**To make our driftwood look, go over this with a dry brush coat of pale green and on top of that a dry brush coat of pale blue or grey.
