In her new book, Annie introduces 30 brand-new sustainable upcycling projects to give old furniture a second life.   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. The 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. Every 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.","brand":"Ryland, Peters \u0026 Small Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50067609321760,"sku":"9781800654150","price":14.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/2812\/7264\/files\/9781800654150.jpg?v=1781377837","url":"https:\/\/bookcorner.com\/products\/annie-sloan-colourful-living-annie-sloan-9781800654150","provider":"The Book Corner","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
