Chateau Paint Inlay Cottage Dresser Makover

Posted by Michelle Phippard · September 26, 2022

Have you ventured into the new world of an IOD Paint Inlay? This new DIY do it yourself tool by Iron Orchid Designs will change your creative world- I promise! Inlays are made with paint pigments that you embedded into wet paint. And one of the best parts— you can use each carrier sheet more than once! Follow along with this dresser tutorial to learn more. Find the full product list and links below.

As you’ll see in the video tutorial, you can cut the Inlay into pieces and arrange in different designs. First (after prep work), I measured the dresser front to determine the size of my design.

Next, I mixed a custom color of Debi’s DIY Paint, which works perfectly with the IOD Paint Inlay process because it’s all natural, made primarily of clay and chalk. After experimenting, I chose a 50/50 mix of Crinoline and Gypsy Green.
