Rustic Metallic finish done over glass doors
Tax included.
We love showcasing what most people think is impossible like painting over glass doors and turning them into a metallic look. Taking something that was dated and making them unrecognisable. When we started the Artisan Company Journey we wanted to innovate products and come up with a system that made creating any finish possible. With no preparation and painting straight over the glass doors with no sanding or priming, it means you can head straight into the fun and being creative and a finish like this which would once take weeks to achieve is made simple with Artisan Paints and Products and can be done in a day.
What we did:
Painted over the glass doors first with Premium Chalk Paint in Carbon Black (no sanding no priming) creating texture with our series 2020 brush. A staalmeester brush is important when painting glass as the Soft Bristles will work in you favour.
Once dry, The following metallic glazes were placed sporadically to detail and create an aged Metallic effect on the door. Layering them over each other here and there :
- Marko Bronze
- Tyler Gold
-Jayda Rose
-Milan Moonshadow
Once the glazes were applied we pulled the whole look together and aged it with a strong Carbon Black coloured wax followed by subtle highlights on the edges and high points with Artisan Metallic Glide in forgotten gold. The Glazes when layered in this way creates an extremely strong and durable surface suitable for doors
Although this finish was completed on doors it can be done on pretty much any surface whether it be the front of drawers for an industrial dresser, a vase, chair... the system allows you to create a stunning rustic Artisan Metallic Finish on pretty much any surface you choose!

Table in Bruised Petal Velvet Luxe: Hybrid Chalk Paint
Tax included.
Velvet Luxe is a Hybrid Chalk Paint great for those one colour flat finishes, dries into beautiful velvety matte finish with no lacquer or wax required and it's also suitable for the outdoors. There's a lot going for Velvet Luxe, sometimes all you want is a quick colour change so it's great to be able show this project from The Artisan at Home NZ.
An old solid table for a covered outdoor area, painted in Artisan Bruised Petal Velvet Luxe, two coats using a staalmeester 1 1/2 inch flat brush together with a 3inch flat brush for the table top. A no fuss self levelling paint that dries beautiful flat and matte. Two coats and it was done.
Velvet Luxe still holds all the rich multi-pigmented qualities of Premium Chalk Paints, each crafted colour holds depth and reacts beautifully to light and shadow. Bruised Petal is a beautiful earthy pink and reacts beautifully to lighting and different environments, a beautiful addition to a green outlook, complimenting all the greenery and foliage around.

Note: Velvet Luxe is designed to be used on Outdoor Furniture, wood or metal that is made or treated for the outdoors. Painting indoor furniture in Velvet Luxe will not make it "outdoor proof" This table was originally an old indoor dining table now painted in Velvet Luxe for a fully covered outdoor deck area which gets very little weather, because the wood is not treated for the outdoors, there is a risk of the wood warping and distorting over time if the weather gets to it. Please bear this in mind if you are painting indoor furniture to sit outdoors.

Textured Rustic and aged Sideboard
Tax included.
Rustic finishes are ideal for those older pieces that have marks and dings, it allows you to work with those imperfections; or for those who are looking to add some rustic character into a space, a finish like this can even be done on pieces like veneers or even modern pieces to create a rustic element and character for the home.
A Sideboard that was once painted in blue with a waxed finish, now redone for a completely new look as part of Artisan At Home, showing the freedom and ability to paint straight over and give it a completely different look. Using metallic glazes to age and detail creates a lustre that is ever changing and adjusting to light bringing the piece to life.
A super rustic finish works well on stand alone feature pieces, adding depth and interest to an interior space allowing you to use multiple colours drawing colours from your space to create a cohesive look.
What was done in order :
- Hand painted in Premium Chalk Paints Imperial linen (1 Litre), Dor Greige (sample pot) Stormy Creek (sample pot) All three colours were painted and blended on the piece as a first coat, strategically placing Stormy creek in areas where we wanted a lowlight or darker detail, then a half coat of touching up here and there using the three different colours to balance out the colours and gain full coverage. All painted with a pure bristle brush, loading paint generously with selected stippling and brushing in all directions to create brush strokes and texture
Once dry, Adrianna Premium Chalk Paint was watered down and placed in areas then ragged, as well as Firefly in selected areas only
- Marko Bronze brushed on with Spalter brush; used to age and knit the colours together, working in small sections once the glaze was touch dry, fine steel wool was used to distress and remove some of the bronze glaze in areas, creating a varied matt and gloss sheen level across the entire piece allowing bronze glaze to sit on the surface in some areas and just between the brushstrokes in others .
Milan Moonshadow used as a lowlight over the bronze glaze just in selected areas around the edges, corbels, around the bevels and areas where we wanted to age further,
- Forgotten Gold metallic glide used to detail edges and handles.
