Choice of color is most important when attempting any thematic finish.
I recommend a creamy yellow and country blue. The two essential tools you will need are a sea sponge and a badger-hair brush. If you are looking for a less expensive alternative to the badger brush you may use a soft, long bristle brush. Work in 3-6 foot areas. If you find an old piece of furniture you wish to patina, the first step is to score the existing finish so that the primer adheres.
