Painted Furniture: From Simple Scandinavian to Modern Country Patterns and Projects for the Look You Want by Virginia Patterson
A painted furniture workshop in a book, Painted Furniture will show you how to transform tired old pieces of furniture and newer - but ordinary - wood and metal pieces into showpieces. From new, plain pieces, to antiques, to garage sale finds, learn how to create dramatic pieces - and how to establish an interior design scheme around these pieces. Painted Furniture establishes a theme for a room, then shows you how to create a decorative piece to relate to that theme. Divided into two sections - patterns and finishes - Painted Furniture presents plenty of tips and full-color photographs that will have you producing your own beautiful furniture in no time - for your home, as gifts for friends, and even to sell!
