Linking all of the products I used to paint this French inspired bench. But first, here’s how I layered it. First, your lightest (bauhaus buff) coat first. Second, gold leaf what you want. Third, paint with cracked patina. During this step, i wiped away the paint from the gold leaf so that it would show through, but not be as gold. I wanted subtle. And finally, your final coat which, in my case, was the color linen. DIY, chalk paint, vintage, gold, glam, antique, Amy Howard, amazon home
