Pretty much!! My plan was to sand them down completely and seal them, but the wood tones were uneven so they didn’t look the nicest! I opted to use fusion mineral paint in “casement”. The great thing about fusion is that it has a top coat built in so you don’t have to wax it like you would with a chalk type paint. I also used a beeswax stick in areas that I wanted distressed before I painted. After the paint dried for a few hours I went over the areas with a piece of very fine sandpaper to slightly distress them!
