To create an aged look, use this technique for furniture, cabinets, vanities and more.
Step 1
Choose two colors that compliment your existing color scheme.
Apply the base color and let dry according to label directions. Check dry and recoat time indicated.
Step 2
Using 100 grit sandpaper, lightly sand off small areas such as edges and corners, letting the surface below show through. Clean surface and let dry 24 hours.

Repeat the above process using the second color. Let dry 24 hours. If desired, for extra protection of the distressed look, apply a coat of clear latex polyurethane, in a satin finish.
