I never sand anything unless there's a big lump I want rid of . I use Wilko matt indoor varnish.
Annie Sloan paint is quite pricey and only available from certain shops or mail order. There are several other types of chalk paint on ebay & amazon. Emma Kate's blog has a tutorial on painting with emulsion but it needs prepping first.0 -

Must say I haven't seen much about furniture renovations in either though. Have you tried youtube? Probably find what you want there.

I have this mirror, but I would prefer it to be a nickel colour. Pretty much like the detailed work Would spraying be the best option? Can anyone recommend a product?

Hi Northwest1965
I had a similar mirror which was a gold colour. I used a product called rub n buff in pewter which gave it a non shiny finish. They may have a nickel finish.Where there is love there is forgiveness:smileyhea0 -
