Best Answer

this is the formula used by Laurie on the show Trading Spaces:

Base Color: Latex Satin Finish Paint - Laurie used a Cream color

Paint 2 coats base color - let dry completely (at least 4 hours - overnight is best)

Sand lightly & apply glaze.

Glaze:

3/4 c. malt vinegar

2 Tbs. Burnt Umber Powder Pigment (must be powder)

1 Squirt liquid dish soap

Mix glaze ingredients and apply liberally with a small brush. Then dabble your fingers on glaze like you're playing a piano (lightly). Don't allow glaze to dry while your dabbling or you'll get fingerprints. Finish may look chalky as it dries but that will go away when you finish with at least 2 or 3 coats coats high gloss spray varnish.
