Before
After
The Buffet is One Step Credenza, Cracked Patina, Wax and Dust, and Zinc Top.
Amy: What made you decide on the color and techniques that you used? What were your thoughts when you deciding how to restore your piece?
Erin: My vision for this console was a potting shed style piece that felt clean but also showed age as if it had been used for that purpose for years. I chose the One Step color Credenza because I thought that it would pair with the zinc top beautifully (I also just adore that color!). I used the zinc finish to give a modern and clean work surface (the original top was just a plain brown painted top). I then applied the cracked patina to add age to the piece. Of course, I finished everything up with light wax, dark wax and dust of ages!

Amy: What do you like the most about your finished piece?
Erin: I love the color tone combination of the cool green/blue Credenza and the gray/green of the zinc top. It feels calm and peaceful to me.
Amy: Did you sell your piece or keep it for yourself?
Erin: I actually just finished this piece on Sunday, right before the deadline! So I have yet to bring it to the shop for sale, but that is my plan.
Amy: What is your favorite product to work with and why?

Erin: Right now, I am really enjoying the Cracked Patina. It's allows me to get in to the paint with my hands and add texture...it truly makes each piece unique and I love that you can use it to a small degree or really go for it to create a multi-layered product.
