How to Glaze Furniture | Navy Blue Chalk Painted Dresser Makeover

By letter2self on February 25, 2023



I get asked a lot about how to glaze furniture over chalk paint. So in this video, I’m showing you exactly how I glaze with Valspar Antiquing Glaze.

You can glaze over chalk paint with a few simple steps, transforming any piece of furniture into a masterpiece.
Adding glaze to painted furniture accents the details and makes them pop, but also deepens a dark color, or antiques the paint color a bit!

|What to Expect|
0:00 Before
0:21 Prep for Paint
0:49 Spray Country Chic Paint in Peacoat and Jitterbug
1:35 Spray Topcoat with Waterbased Polyurethane
4:04 Glaze with Valspar Antiquing Glaze
5:35 Wiping off Glaze with Wipes
8:28 Add Shading
10:33 Seal with Polyurethane
11:09 After
