How do I "antique" my yellow gold kitchen paint color?
I have a very flat (looking) gold yellow color in my kitchen and it's just not what I hoped for. It's really corny and kiddish looking. I have stainless steel appliances and reddish orange brown cabinets and butcher block countertops and red and green and orange accents (art, bowls etc). I want it tuscan looking so what kind of paint do I need to buy or how do I even do it?
I want to paint the walls not cabinets
I make a glaze with burnt umber and another with burnt sienna. The two together over your yellow will soften and age the walls. I would use a rag on and off approach. Heres how to make the glaze: 1 part acrylic or latex paint, 1 part water (or less dependent on the color saturation you want, but you do have to thin it somewhat) 1 part Floetrol (found in the paint/stain aisle at the home improvement center and gives you more open time to manipulate the paint). Mix up the glaze and pour a small amount onto a sturdy plastic or paper plate. Dampen two rags, one to apply the paint with and one to remove the excess and blend. Do this for each color. Start with the burnt umber because it is darker and you can tone it down with the burnt sienna. I always pratice on a spare piece of drywall or even tag board first, so you get the hang of the pressure and manipulation of the paint and colors. Once you start on the walls, work in small areas one color at a time dabbing the paint on and off with the rags. Step back from your work now and again to ensure you get the color saturation you desire. Rinse the dabber rag occasionally so that it does not become full of paint. Be sure to wedge the rags into the corners so that you do not get hat banding where a band of the base color remains along the baseboards, ceilings and in the corners. (Be sure to tape off baseboards and along the ceiling if you are not treating those areas.) Fun project, take your time and you will be happy with the results.
