đ” Just off of the beaten path
A little dot on a state road map
That’s where I was born and where I’ll die
Things move at a slower pace
Nobody’s in the rat race
And these days that’s a special way of life
Down home, where they know you by name and treat you like family
Down home, a man’s good word and hand shake are all you need
Folks know if they’re falling on hard times
They can fall back on
Those of us raised up down home đ”
Yes, indeed a special way of life. <3
To bring out much loveliness, I ever-so-lovingly got to work:
- Gave piece a good cleaning ~Â water and vinegar is my tried and true
- Applied 2 coats of Country Chic Paintâs âAll-In-One Decor Paintâ in the colour âSage Adviceâ ~ delightfully pure and fresh sage green
- Lightly sanded with both 120 and 220 grit sandpaper ~ to achieve the down home slightly distressed farmhouse look I wanted to achieve
- Applied 1 coat of Country Chic Paintâs âNatural Waxâ with a wax-brush ~ for a protective and buttery-smooth finish
- Applied 1 coat of Country Chic Paintâs âAntiquing Waxâ with a wax-brush  ~ for an added time-worn touch
- Buffed the wax with a lint-free cloth ~ until it no longer felt tacky and was completely smooth
- Applied 1 more partial coat of Country Chic Paintâs âNatural Waxâ with a lint-free cloth ~ to manipulate / lessen the âAntiquing Waxâ
Wax on a piece that will be sat on you ask? đŻ  No worries my friends! After 3-4 weeks, the wax will be fully cured and the piece can safely be sat on! I know this first-hand, as I transformed a storage bench for myself some time ago (in which I also used wax) and we sit on it ALL the time! đ
