I've decided that my back porch needs some help.
I went on a mission this week to find an outdoor rug, which wasn't as easy as I thought it would be. After searching at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, Target, AND TJ Maxx, I finally found one at Bed, Bath & Beyond on sale for $44!

Next on my list was to find an antique table for my potted plants, which I found this morning at a local antique store in Canton. The guy even knocked the price down to $25!

After my table purchase, I went over to Home Depot and found exactly what I was looking for - Martha Stewart Crackle Specialty Finish! That Martha. She thinks of everything.

After priming and applying the Crackle goo..and a little bit of sanding...my antique table was complete!
Here is the finished product with my potted plants!

Happy Saturday! Austin and I are headed to Gainesville for Supper Club!
Any suggestions on where to get instructions for using this product? No links available at Martha Stewart.com, and Home Depot doesn't seem to have anyone who knows "how-to"... I have purchased the product, and am waiting to apply it!
ReplyDeleteBe sure to purchase the Martha Stewart primer - apply that first and allow to dry. Then apply crackle specialty finish (which is rather thick) with a small putty knife. Mine is 2"....the thicker the application is, the larger the cracks. The thinner the application, the smaller the cracks. After allowing this to dry, I went back and sanded out the rough spots!
ReplyDeleteCan you apply a water proof varnish over this?
ReplyDeleteit did not work for me
