Primer is drying (hurry up-- hurry up--)



Top Coat and more drying time---



Slopped on Ralph Lauren Smoke Glaze and wiped off with an old rag.

  4. I didn't post a Met Monday this time around, but I still wanted to see what everyone did! I love the clock makeover! That was a pretty large piece of furniture. I have an old spinet piano that plays beautifully, but I would love to repaint. You have given me great ideas! Happy Met Monday.
