I shared last week how I like to play around with paint and here is the result on the Aubusson Armoire. Annie Sloan Aubusson, French Linen, Old White and Graphite were used and General Finishes Flat Out Flat Topcoat was applied as the sealer.

A lot of pics to follow! Have a great weekend, everyone!

Suzanne, this big beauty is gorgeous. Increasingly, when I paint, I prefer the layering technique. What a fabulous job you did.

Wow Suzanne, simply stunning! I have a renewed love for these chunky pieces from the 70’s – they come alive again with some fresh paint. LOVE

Beautiful! You out did yourself on this piece.
I have a question about the Flat Out topcoat. I just purchased a can and haven’t used it yet.
Any tips about how to keep it from streaking? What do you use to apply it. I read read about many thingd including using a damp cloth. Any information would be appreciated.

  Thanks so much! I actually use a sponge brush to apply it. I try to apply it in long stripes along the piece. For large tops, a staining sponge is best. Again, wipe it along the grain and not back and forth. I haven’t read about the damp cloth method – hmmmm. Sounds interesting! Best of luck to you!
