I'll take his wood, unpainted. This is the easiest, fastest. Get mixed grain sandpaper, 4 or 5 colors) spray stain (on an aerosol stain, dark green and a tube of acrylic paint. First, remove all devices. Then, with the broad sandpaper, while the sandy banks of the breast ... each site there is a line in the corner, accidents, etc. So, go to the next higher grain and do the same thing, go with sand paper thin and lean. Start with the darkest stains and spray "paint on the spot" of the Bureau. Regardless of May nonstrategic aerosol form, and do not try to cover everything. Use sandpaper and lightly sand the very end parts of the items you spray (always) with a grain of sand. Go to the next darker color to do the same, and then repeat the sanding. Continue straight ahead until the last point. When all are finished, they give a good oil with some Minwax and Old English. It queue.
There are so many different things that are done the old furniture. It would be nice if we have more information. For example, you want a finished painting or finishing of the wood grain? You want a crack or not to end?
That is what I had for my old drawers own it.
First, I have used myself to all products of base oil for this project. My cabinet was painted white in the past, I have this as my base layer.
I sanded the whole thing. In order to have more old, you can sand and go through the paint in some places in the corners and edges of exposed wood. Then, contrary to the common household items that can be used as a screwdriver, hammer, string, etc. Just scratch knife, chip, or fears.
The next step is glass with a little patience. When I've bought my polish, I had dyed the color I wanted. I chose the color is blue, most people do not use blue. I took a brush and brush the glass on the surface of the dresser, and THis to be immediately cleaned with a rag. When washing power is not needed to cover the entire area. You should give the paint a little darker at the edges of the land to a kind of dark, too. The paint will get into the grooves, cracks, and scratches. Here's a tip, not too big of a glass surface. Brush the surface at a time, then clean in a way that almost seems like you can see a picture of wood grain.
After drying varnish, sanding lightly with a brand new fine sandpaper. Also went ahead and through the paint to make it look like old sanded and distressed.
Finally, I have a coat of satin varnish. The gloss is a little harder to find than the semi-gloss, Home Depot and Lowe's does not lead him. I found it stored in a color. I decided to use a satin, because I think it helps, searching for antique furniture. Allow to dry and ready.

Get a long piece of string, wrap one end around the toilet and the other to the rear bumper and unity.

Apply any type of surface (paint, varnish, lacquer, shellac) and strategically so that must have been Nick seems to be wearing authentic if it is not considered using random, normal, sh! Tty. Have been Then apply a varnish to darker corners of internal and students seem to be 100-300 years worth of dirt on them. Then apply a varnish to the desired luster.
For antiques, just use a paint (with a color glaze medium-sized businesses can save up to confuse paint) and use a cloth to rub over the drawer. It works best if the base layer and comfortable in a light color like white or beige, brown, and then takes a glze wipe the excess. You can also nail Crackle () found in stores art supplies, which makes it even more "Aged Look"
