Hello,

I painted the Gingerbread House project and took some pics.

1) Sealed all with SealCoat
2) Painted all outside house panels with white latex house paint
3) Painted a "gingerbread brown" with Apple Barrel #20524 (Golden Brown) on select areas of house and both roof panels
4) Painted all details using Paint Pens, toothpicks and fine brush (leaving white areas alone)
5) Applied 2 coats spray shellac overall
6) Applied Minwax Vermont Maple water-base stain then brushed and wiped off to yield an "old" appearance on outside surfaces only
7) Applied spray Krylon Acrylic Satin on outside ONLY (inside is shellac for food-safe finish)
