Hi all, first post but I've been getting advise from the forums for some time now.
My wife has decided that she wants to buy a sideboard for the dining room which has this 'shabby chic' look to it. So we have been looking for some old furniture and have found several pieces for very reasonable prices but these have the original varnished finish.
Can anyone give me some advise how to paint the furniture to achieve this finish. We will be painting it white/off-white and it will have a distressed look.
I've looked all over the internet but have only found places selling furniture already like this.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks.
