After the sanding, I pulled out the Debi's Design Diary DIY Bohemian Blue and my favorite paint brush. Did I mention that I love Paint Pixie paint brushes?

I let my piece dry overnight and then I came back in with Debi's Design Diary DIY Black Wax to finish it off. The black wax highlighted the richness of that deep blue color and really gave my piece a silky smooth finish.
