Shabby Chic; Volume III

chalkysoil

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.

Might be the Shabby Chic thread?

Hi.
In my home is about DIY, try that

Crafting is about all things sewing, try that.

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.

Is the pewter really dark?

No quite silvery. If I can find a pic will post it for you
