undercoating custom tutorial

I am in LOVE, I mean in LOVE with French Country Design. . .
especially the layered, weathered & worn painted furniture that's
so commonly seen in the French rural countryside.

A sense of  natural comfort, practicality, and charm is found in every aspect of
 French country living, and has always influenced interiors across Europe and America.

I'm especially drawn to their subdued shades, soft tones, and natural materials. . .

A common trademark of French Country is their unique way of "undercoating". . .
layers of painted finishes, revealing past lives and new beginnings.

Undercoating is a technique that took us a while to get just right,
but is pretty simple when following the right procedure. . .
