PAINTING A BASEBALL WALL TIPS WITH ERIN

PAINTING A BASEBALL WALL TIPS WITH ERIN

Erin was painting a baseball wall for her son's room.  She messaged me for a couple of details and I thought this conversation might be helpful to other's, too.  

I asked and she said she didn't mind if I shared.

My Post on PAINTING A BASEBALL WALL FOR A NURSERY & TUTORIAL

hi Lynda

I was wondering if you could clarify for me if you painted the red baseball stitching on the wall before applying the glaze, or after applying the glaze? I am doing this in my son's room this week and I am not sure exactly when to put the glaze coat over the base color on the wall....

Thanks! !
Erin

Hi Erin,

     I painted everything on the wall before I glazed.  I wanted everything to look old.  The glazing aged the red stitching and everything. 

     Have fun with your project.

Lynda

Thank you for your response!!

One other question  (sorry)... what did you use for glaze? (Color, Type , etc)

I mixed my own glaze.  It might have been Pratt & Lambert, but you can get any clear glaze and add color to it.  Also, any of the paint stores have antiquing or aging glazes.

Thank you for your helpful tips!  It turned out so cool!"

And, it did!!

DIDN'T SHE DO A GREAT JOB!  I BET HER SON LOVES IT, TOO.
