Champagne Waltz Sideboard step by step tutorial

I have been waiting for the right piece to use the Imperial Garden transfer on and I knew I wanted it to be symmetrical but showcase the flower imagery on each side differently.

Here is my step by step process to create this piece:

* I cleaned my piece well with sugar soap and water and a good rinse off, and a slight sand just on the top to even out the original finish

* Paint in a slightly textured way all over using Champagne Waltz Vintro chalk paint, 2 coats and a little touch up only required for good coverage. I used s straight edge synthetic brush for this

* A light sand to even out the texture a little especially on the doors where my transfer was going, and some distressing to the sideboard edges

* A good dust down using a damp cloth as transfers do NOT like dust

* Work out positioning of my transfer on each door, I dummied this up by taping it into position until I was happy and I had lots left over for a different project

* Cut transfer to size

* Rub transfer on

* Added in a few flowing pieces to each door transfer to balance out the design

* Rub down any fluffy transfer bits once complete with clean hands

* Finish entire piece in Crystal coloured wax by mixing clear wax and crystal vintro paint, see my tutorial under the tutorial tab to see how I do this.

Voila! Complete!
