After painting these side tabkes a light grey, I couldn’t help but think they looked flat, banal. So I turned to a brown glaze. The glaze brought out the intricate design in the legs and gave the tables the warmth and character they had been missing.
Come watch as I explain the dos and don’ts on how to apply glaze to a painted surface

Hi from Cambridge UK. They have such a high end classy look. Well done you.
After you glaze and let it dry do you top coat or just leave it alone
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.
Everything I read said to topcoat the glaze. But I didn’t. The paint I used had a built in topcoat plus I had added poly to the last coat of paint. So the paint was protected. The glaze wasn’t going anywhere. Plus I figured if it did wear down a little,it would look like natural wear.
They look gorgeous 😊
I’ve started having trouble finding pieces to work on that are somewhat reasonably priced. I’ve started not only checking Facebook market place but goodwill, auction houses, estate sales, and yard sales. Have you come into the same problems in your area?
Try an orbital sander on those scratches, it would make quick work of removing them.
