Fantastic Furniture in an afternoon

By Mickey Baskett

Book Overview

All it takes is paint, a little time and some inspired, quick and easy decorative ideas to give old furniture a new lease of life - or transform unpainted pieces into works of art. These 29 ways to use stencilling, stamping, sponging, distressing, stippling and glazing techniques should result in strikingly original focal points for every room in the house. Choose a style: some are whimsical, bursting with colour and fun details, like the busy bees that embellish a honey coloured cupboard, and still more are just right for a child. Information on choosing supplies and on cleaning, stripping old paint, sanding and preparing furniture, should enable even beginners to get started instantly - and templates make tracing patterns simple.
