See how I get a dark distressed look
on light colored furniture
I had 4 wood chairs that were plain wood with no color
or stain. I wanted to paint them and end up with white
distressed paint over a dark color and I wanted to do it
quickly. This is how I did it in 1 day.
My secret was to use a flat oil based spray on the areas that I
want to distress. The flat paint dries quickly so it doesn't add
too much extra waiting time, and the oil based paint won't
sand off as easily when I distress the top coat of Annie Sloan
Chalk Paint.
NOT RECOMMENDED WITH A GLOSSY SPRAY PAINT
Once the brown was dry I sprayed the chairs in a creamy
white Annie Sloan Pure White & Old White mix, using

The edges and details were all distressed by sanding with 220
and finally all the chairs were waxed and polished.
I hope this gives you some
great ideas to try on your own!
This is the same technique I used on this red
dresser shown below, and numbered bar stool.
