Making Over A Finial

Another D.I. find is transformed. This finial had serious potential and I'm glad I saw it. They had three for sale and I'm kicking myself for not buying them all and gifted the other two...arrggg. Anyway,I gave this bad boy three coats of antique white paint and finished it off with some glaze. This piece was really glossy to begin with and the paint kept rubbing off...note to self...prime next time! I love the finished product!!

Before...what do you even call this color? :)

After...oooo...awww...beautiful!

I love how the glaze gets trapped in the details.
