As I am painting a piece, I often find that the piece sort of tells me how it wants to be finished. Many times, I plan on just flat out painting the pieces, but once I get a few coats on, it just screams 'distress me'. Or the other way around. I've distressed a piece and gone back and painted in the distressing for a clean feel. Same thing happens with colour all of the time!! In fact, I just did a lamp in a gorgeous Nautical Blue... It looks horrible, and I'm planning on redoing it in black. Although I'll probably stare at it for a few months before I actually get to it.
