Paint has a transformative power. Painting, or changing the colour of a piece of furniture creates something totally different and can change the whole feel of a room.
Paint finishes like distressing (making it look old and battered) or incorporating a Scandinavian folk-look on furniture are ways of turning a piece of furniture into a real feature. This also works well for childrens’ furniture; painting a checkerboard on a small table, their favourite storybook characters on a toy chest, or a chalkboard on their wardrobe door. It makes a piece of furniture unique and personal.
Many people see this as a fun DIY project. It is! Remember, though, achieving the best result requires dedication to the prep work: the cleaning and sanding and priming. Do a bit of research, have a bit of patience and you’ll find it a really satisfying process. However, if you don’t want to do it yourself, I’m here.
