Featured Technique  

This china hutch details how you can turn ordinary into extraordinary.  A EmbossedStencilingpic.jpg (13744 bytes)darker base stain was applied first, then an embossed stencil was applied to the sides (we used joint compound!), the entire piece was then covered with white satin enamel and trim molding in green and yellow, then sanded off in selected areas to create the antique patina, lastly an antiquing stain was applied overall with subtle green and coral highlights.  The picture doesn't do it justice.  You can see it up close at Finish It! or the Parade of Homes in June.
