Something New From Something Old Furniture Renewal725512
My daughter and that i recently started our dream business of collecting and renewing furniture using the awesome medium of paint. Even as were exploring the notion of painting furniture, we stumbled upon chalk paint and have never looked back! That of a pleasure to own found and ventured to the arena of painted furniture. So far as problems in later life, Annie Sloan developed this specialty paint in their home country of England and launched it there in 1990. Recently it's taken America by storm as well as the whole community of creative furniture painters have been in awe!
Computerized devices so wonderful to use is that despite other paint, you are able to paint directly onto home furniture while not having to strip or prime it give you. It is on easily, dries quickly and even more importantly, sand off magnificently in areas where you would like to build the "distressed" look.
We have been awaiting applying this medium and exploring the likelihood of how we can make new works of art from unwanted blah, brown pieces of furniture.
Old-fashioned Milk Paint is yet another paint medium that we are beginning explore with, that features a texture and finish that will create a geniune, vintage look.
We love to vintage and antique furniture, or a content article of furniture that we can paint and provide that distinguished older or distressed look.
I've painted many furnishings over my entire life time for use in home, however, not so long ago, Karla and I thought we would get it done with a full time basis. After recently renewing a well used dresser for her bedroom, directly in our back yard, the concept to do this as a business, dawned on us.
Some people probably won't like the idea of painted antique furniture, nevertheless the pieces that we want to renew are the the one which people no more find attractive. The ones that give us a challenge of the way we could help it become beautiful and appealing once again. Those that might end up in the dump, prematurely.
So in essence, we are recycling, renewing, re-purposing and raising the planet a bit inside the same time!
