And here she is—revealed in all her faded châte And here she is—revealed in all her faded château glory! I absolutely adore the softly aged exterior paired with that touch of faded glamour inside. The antique mirrors glow with a gentle golden hue, perfectly echoing the worn gilded details on the drop-down bar. I have to admit, it was hard letting this one leave the studio for the Emporium… she’s a piece I’ll truly be sad to see go.
As much as I loved the texture, layers, and washes As much as I loved the texture, layers, and washes, the piece still felt like it needed a little something more. To add depth, I blended our Black and Antique Patina waxes to create a luscious chocolate-brown tone. I worked this into the carved details, giving the piece a subtle, authentic aged effect that tied the whole finish together beautifully.

I prepared two washes: one with Travertine and one with Crème Brûlée, each at a 50:50 ratio of paint to glaze.

I repeated the process with the Travertine wash, layering the tones for a soft, timeworn effect.

After that, I used a scraper to pull back some of the texture, leaving a smoother surface while still keeping depth. To finish this stage, I applied a coat of Matte Poly Varnish—a simple step that makes all the upcoming layers much easier to control.
