It sets the mood for a truly unforgettable Halloween experience.
Supplies used on this project:
An Old Unfinished Project
We had an old demo piece lying around the warehouse and decided to give it a fresh lease on life with anΒ Elderberry-inspired Halloween makeover. The piece was unique because it had one side dark and the other white. Both are heavily textured with aΒ chunky milk paint finish. Hereβs how we transformed it into something hauntingly beautiful.
Prepping A Textured Surface
Before diving into the transformation, we cleaned the piece thoroughly with aΒ TSP Alternative. This ensures a clean canvas for our makeover. The dust can collect on theΒ textured surfaceΒ so we made sure to clean well. Fusion will adhere extremely well to unsealed milk paint.
Elderberry Elegance
With our canvas clean, we applied one coat of Elderberry. TheΒ coverageΒ over the different colours is very noticeable, but 2 coats covered it well. The transformation was already astonishing, covering the textured surface and effortlessly concealing the two different base colours. After the first coat dried, we applied a second coat to achieve a flawless finish.

Mixing A Custom Glaze
Taking it to the next level, we created a custom black glaze using Coal Black andΒ Fusionβs Clear Glaze. Custom glazes are a fantastic way to add depth and character to your furniture pieces. The glaze clung beautifully to the chunky texture, enhancing the overall look.
Custom glazesΒ are incredibly versatile; the colour ratio can be adjusted to your liking. If you prefer a more opaque finish, simply add more paint. For a sheer effect, use less paint in your glaze mixture. This customization allows you to achieve the precise look you desire.
