I transformed this beautiful medallion with a makeover using paint.
~*~
I picked up this medallion for two dollars at GW.
I knew I wanted to paint this the second I saw it! I’ve added a few images of the process. And isn’t it lovely with its new look?!

I gave this a layer of white chalk paint then after dry, distressed it using an emery board nail file. Next I gave it some clear and dark wax and then did some buffing with a soft cloth.

It’s now the piece I envisioned it to be! I love the details and how the distressing and wax make them pop! I’ve seen similar pieces for twenty-five dollars and up!
Using chalk paint and wax is the easiest way to transform a piece! Don’t be afraid to give it a try!
