Directions

Pocket Holes (PH)

  • Add pocket holes to the back piece (top and sides) be sure to add the pocket holes on the back side that will go against the wall. Please note, I only added pocket holes to the top of the back piece
  • Add pocket holes to both ends of the top piece (be sure it's the side that will face the floor(hidden)
  • Add pocket holes to both ends of the brace

Attachments (Apply wood glue prior to attaching)

  • Attach back piece to the top piece with 1 1/4"PH screws
  • Attach side pieces to top and back piece (if you created pocket holes use 1 1/4" PH screws, if not, use brad nailer 1 1/4" nails)
  • Add the brace under the top and attach with 1 1/4" PH screws

Trim

  • Add side and top trim, attach with brad nailer 1 1/4"nails

Sand, then add primer and make sure it's completely dry before adding the clay paint. Once dried, apply Roman Clay paint using the technique in the video. I ordered the Roman Clay Paint from Portola Paints, the color is Sasha.
