Hello from Williamsburg VA

[@3_3645]

I like that you approach refinishing in almost an artistic and historical way.
Did you say fly specks?

I worked for Schumacher too, the fabric end.

I have a small writing desk from when I was little, a drop front desk. It has a veneer finish with my humidity in my house some of the veneer has split would I remove the veneer, i wonder one how hard is that process and what kind of wood is underneath. This finish would look really nice on my desk.
A little silver would be nice too.
I'm okay with a buffed finish, wouldn't it be easier to clean?
Which brings up another question how are hand finishing furniture pieces cleaned?

[@calsmom27]

Does the plaster change the milk paint color if you decided to use black? Or a darker color milk print? Will it lighten it up?

[@davinadixon5873]

Can I do my kitchen cabinets or will it be to hard to keep clean

[@3_3645]

For anyone, a comode in french is a bed side table.
In English we think of a toilet :)

I sent you a hand written letter who reads the mail for you? It was referring to a white gold finish.

[@bettywarring2737]

Can you use it with foil?

[@lindz916]

Yes, just make sure to do that prior to waxing

[@user-se3ex5vz6q]

How much Venetian plaster to the milk paint?

[@lindz916]

Equal parts, and then equal part water

[@lindz916]

Don't add all the water at once, start with some to get it mixed up then add what is needed to get it to about an equal part

[@bettywarring2737]

Matte sealer….sorry
