paint effects
We have some honey pine bedroom furniture that we want to paint.
I remember seeing a paint effect on tv many months ago where someone painted the furniture lilac or blue followed by a coat of white and then lightly sanded. This gave an attractive soft antique look. Ideal for a bedroom. Any idea what this is called or do you have any tips on how to do it or what paint to use. Many thanks. |

Take an old piece of furniture, sand it down and paint it a base colour. Once dry, paint a contrasting colour on top and when that is dry, gently sand to reveal the undercoat in patches for a distressed look. http://www.bbc.co.uk/homes/design/de...eets/175.shtml Alternatively, put the two words 'distressed paint' (without the apostrophes) in Google and look through the results. |
