After I painted this little, blue table. I received a lot of questions on how I did the furniture glazing..so here is the nitty-gritty tutorial on how makeover furniture with glaze…
Here is a table I did for a client. She wanted to update the furniture with glaze as well as really make it look worn.
We first painted it cream,
then let it cure a week or so, then I went back and glazed it.
Glazing furniture can really update a piece also, it can give it a nice patina at the same time.

I’m a big fan of glazing too! I find it sooo much easier than using dark wax. And it’s pretty foolproof. If you don’t like the look, just wipe it off and try again. Valspar Clear Glazing Mix works well and comes in a handy plastic pour bottle that lasts forever and it mixes nicely with any paint. And glazed pieces have a really smooth silky finish too!

Love the color and glaze you used on the table. I’m going to use the stratton blue cut by 50%. How did you apply the glaze to the front, sides and top of table? You only mentioned how you applied in crevices. Should I paint it on with a brush and then wipe it off in circular motions? I have experimented a little and it appears you have to wipe off quickly before it dries. I’m not sure of the best technique for applying glaze on these other areas. Can you offer me some basic suggestions? Look forward to hearing from you.
You do have to work fast, so working in a smaller sections is better.Brush it on and then wipe it back rubbing it into the paint. A lot will come off,, but that’s okay. You can also use a damp rag to remove to much. I hope this helps!
I too love glazing, lol! I have used the Valspar glaze in “Mocha” then on my kitchen cabinets I recently did, I used Minwax “Wood Sheen” rubbing stain in walnut, which I loved. I agree that the sheen is really nice.
The glazing gives an altogether different look. Very beautiful!
I was told to use a small candle to put wax on the center sections and on some of the corners to let more of the original color to show thru is this a good suggestion?
Yep!That works as well for antiquing Faye.
Hello-
First off, thank you for your DIY posts. I just decided to refinished my kitchen table one day and I’m glad I stumbled upon your blog.
My question: I want to antique my spay painted kitchen chairs (I used Zinsser 123 spray primer followed by Rust-oleum spray paint in satin Blossom White) . I have the Valspar Clear Glazing Mix and want to mix it with the Minwax Dark Walnut stain I used for the table. Is it okay to use Minwax water based Polycrylic spray in Satin over the glaze?
Also, would you suggest I use Minwax water based Polycrylic spray on my stained table or the Minwax fast-drying Polyurethane spray in clear satin?
I am actually not sure, I’ve never mixed stain with a glaze, I always use paint. I would ask the guys at the paint store or if you have a wood working store near by.
Hi Jennifer.
I love your blog! I recently obtained a few pieces (by inheritance and by flea market) that I’m going to transform.
I’m using chalk paint, and then a glaze. Do I distress before or after I add the glaze? And also, do I need to add a poly coat to seal it all?
Thanks so much!!
