    INSTRUCTIONS

    NOTES:

    Let dry completely between painting steps.

    1. If needed, sand any rough surfaces of the shelf. Wipe down the entire surface to remove dirt and sanding dust.
      2. Instruction #1
    2. Paint the entire shelf with Lace. Allow the paint to dry between coats. (For this look, do not push the paint into the flaws or the grain to allow the age to show through.)
      3. Instruction #2
    3. Using a hand-sander, sand over the entire cabinet with a medium-grit sandpaper. Be sure to get all edges for a rustic look.
      4. Instruction #3
