Before and After

Painting and Aging

Vintage Wooden Bowls

With Annie Sloan Chalk Paint

 

 

 

I picked up six vintage wooden bowls, two large bowls from an Estate Sale and four medium and small bowls from a thrift store.

 

 

I decided to paint and age them a bit with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint.  I used three different colors, Louis Blue, Duck Egg Blue and Old White.

I first cleaned and sanded the bowls.

I painted each bowl with two coats of paint.

 

 

After painting the six bowls, I sanded the edges and bottoms.  Some of the edges weren't dark enough for my liking so I stained them with the Annie Sloan Dark Wax.

 

 

Once they were aged to my liking I decided to finish them off with a food grade finish.  This way they can be used to display fruit, vegetables or cookies or candy.

 

 

I might put them in my Etsy Shop.  I haven't decided yet.  I like the idea of displaying vintage items or seashells inside the bowls.
