The pieces in this book range from decorative items such as a bed coronet and a decoupaged bureau to large-scale undertakings including revamping a tall French armoire with a blend of Chalk Paint hues and using paint effects for a faux malachite desk.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe projects are grouped by simplicity and the length of time required to complete each one, from an afternoon to a weekend. The techniques used range from painting to gilding, dyeing fabric, stamping, printing and stencilling and each one is clearly explained in easy-to-follow step-by-step photography. As well as her love for colour and paint, Annie has a passion for sustainability and reuse, and the book includes a chapter that explains the concept of upcycling and why it matters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery project in the book transforms an unloved second-hand item into something beautiful and unique, and Annie provides expert advice on sourcing the original pieces at flea markets and online.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN 9781800654150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e176 pages, 276 x 208 mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCover: Paperback\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: CICO Books","brand":"BOOKREPS NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":44482070970457,"sku":"PR1083555","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2551\/5502\/files\/bread9781800654150_1_TSKU7ZUEF0F2.jpg?v=1785976180","url":"https:\/\/smartfox.co.nz\/products\/annie-sloan-colourful-living","provider":"SmartfoxNZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
