To make the most out of your next renovation, it’s important to prep your supplies ahead of time. Start with sealer. It protects your finished piece and enhances its durability. Next, pick up some chalk paint wax that adds a protective layer and enhances the depth of the color. To take your project to the next level, add some sandpaper to your cart. Play around with different grits, as they can smooth surfaces and create distressed effects. And don’t forget a drop cloth to protect your work area from spills!
