Description
Chalk Painting Furniture Made Easy: Supply List, Chalk paint recipes and pictures included!
This book instructs on how to chalk paint and re-invent vintage or mid-century modern pieces of furniture to update and decorate your home. Flea market finds, garage sale goodies, dumpster and curbside throwaways are fun to refurbish and get that certain look you want by using chalk paint and applying a number of chalk painting techniques. Some furniture can be re-purposed or up-cycled into uses they were not originally intended for, and I will discuss what this popular trend is all about.
I will explain different finish techniques and where you would apply such techniques as to the use of your chalk painted piece. Homemade chalk paint recipes and mixing procedures are included and can save you a ton of money, often being just as good as the leading brands. There really is no need to buy expensive brands of chalk paint or finishes especially if just starting out. Mixing paint yourself is easier than you think! There are sanding techniques to get the look you want on your furniture projects. Beauty can prevail in antique furniture or mid-century modern furniture. You can be proud of the skills you master when purchasing and following the tips in this book. You may be more talented than you ever thought you could be and end up with a great new lucrative hobby or business! I designed this book to be a no nonsense, cut the small talk and get to business kind of book, as I realize just how busy life can be. Thank you for your purchase or borrow, and I look forward to your reviews!
