Antiquing and distressing is pretty much the same, isn’t it?

Hope these help. I antiqued some stuff years ago with a kit from either Home Depot or Ace Hardware. I just can’t remember. But it turned out great!

Good Luck!

…Finish it off with modern-day comedians who rely only jokes with sexual content and crude language, and it will surely finish distressed, or at least tired of the whole thing.
…BTW, I do not support “humor” of this nature; that kind of humor only shows these “wanabee” comedians and writers have no imagination at all, and very limited vocabularies.

I’ll take a shot at it. Looks to me like they painted it that dark green then used a dark reddish stain befor ethe green was dry. Just a guess.

Yeah, I agree with the previous poster. There were probably 2 shades of colors – one over the other, and the painter then used a dragging technique to get the previous color out. To get a good effect on it, however, you might want to use glaze. Then drag a towel over the color to get a “drag”.

If the colors were more washed out, it would be called “distressing”. But the picture you show here is very vibrant and bright.
