Sheila,

I use brown paper that I receive through the mail when I order packages. Companies use it in a roll…. so basically any brown paper that comes on a roll. You can get it at $$ Tree for a buck. 🙂

What I get is generally already wrinkled. I just sort of smooth it out slightly and rub it gently over the paint. If there is any Plaster of Paris or chalk paint raised up, it really knocks it down easily. Cheap and it works like very fine sandpaper.

I hope that helps.

Absolutely beautiful!!! Totally love this! Question… In one your comments you said you use brown craft paper to sand in between coats of paint… can you explain that? I mean brown craft paper to me is something like construction paper, so I don’t understand how you sand with it.

So loving this and glad you painted it black it looks so elegant that color. Now i want one but don’t have the entrance way to use it in, maybe my daughter-in-law will like it and can make one for them. Love you ideas and so glad I was suggested your Facebook page by one of my other Facebook sites.

Love it, and I totally agree, taking a picture of a mirror is so hard! I have also completed a project and then noticed a scratch, a few times! You inspire me, I wish I had all your skills!
