Her most recent project, a Great Room brass chandelier -
They rented our scaffold and got it done!
What an awesome transformation!
Working off those ladders ended up being very worth it, don’t you think?
LOVE ! ! !
You can use Smooth Basecoat (Chocolate) or Reclaim Mocha as your basecoat – it sticks to almost anything, including metal. When the one layer is dry, brush/stipple on Modern Masters Statuary Bronze until you are satisfied. Toner over top will age your metallic finish nicely, then when dry seal it well with your favorite topcoat (I like the wipe on Min Wax poly).
You can find all of the above at my store – be sure to book mark it, and note my coupon codes PattyH for $2 off shipping and PattyH5 for 5 off shipping.

Wow! what a transformation, what patience!
I didn’t even know there was a smooth basecoat!
yes, the smooth basecoat is much like reclaim mocha – has been out for several years, created for the gilding products – thinner than the textured basecoats….
