It’s no secret that Dixie Belle has tons of amazing paint colors, but we also have lots of other products to make your furniture look beautiful.
I thought I’d share about one of our finishing products in this post, Big Mama’s Butta.
Funny name, but powerful product.
Butta comes in two scents, Suzanne’s Garden and Orange Grove ( my favorite!) It also comes unscented. If you’re into essential oils you can add a few drops to the unscented.
What’s in the secret sauce?
Butta contains hemp oil, coconut oil, beeswax, and carnauba wax.
How do you use it? What’s its purpose?
I use it inside furniture as a final touch on finishing a piece. Apply with a soft rag and work on drawers and runners for smooth sliding, use inside drawers themselves to bring a fresh luster to wood. The orange smells amazing inside a finished piece.
Use it on a beautiful wood piece you don’t want to paint to renew the wood. I bought a gorgeous antique cabinet a few months ago, the wood was gorgeous and I knew I wouldn’t paint it.
This was my first piece to use it on and wow, I was hooked! My daughter in law came by later and asked if I had used our “no pain gel stain ” on it. The difference was that drastic.
That’s not all….
You can use as a sealer after your paint has dried well. Apply with a lint free cloth, buff after application. Cures after 7 days.
But wait, there’s more!
What if I told you it renewed and restored leather?
Oh yes it does.
Recently my daughter in law sent me a photo of some gorgeous Italian leather boots she had scored at the thrift store with the question, “can I use the gel stain on these?” ( I’ve seriously got her hooked on the stuff! 😃)
I told her no, but I did have another product she could use. She had already bought some butta so I instructed her to use it on the boots.
You can see results below, the boot on left is before.
And a closer look….
Can you say wow??? 🤩
So there you go. Big Mama’s Butta can not only get those tight drawers running smooth, refresh old tired wood, cover old odors, and seal your piece after painting, it can also refresh and renew tired and worn leather.
Comes in 4 and 10 oz sizes, Orange Grove, Suzanne’s Garden and Unscented.
