How Distressing!!!!

How Distressing!!!

In this post, I will show you how simple it is to distress a piece of furniture.

This technique can be applied to anything that is made of wood, MDF or even metal.  The only thing that changes is the type of paint you use.

The distressed style, also known as shabby chic is not for everyone.  I however, happen to love it.

As you can see from the photo to the left, I started with a simple primed, pine shelf that I found in the garbage.

***PUT ME UP ON A PEDESTAL***

As you can see, this project begins with an old teachers' desk. (I am referring to the desk, not the teacher!)
As you can see, this desk is in pretty rough shape. The veneer is peeling on the far left and the middle drawer has been mangled at the edges.

If you want to see what I created, just read on.

FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES Vintage Style Sign

My inspiration for this sign was a combination of the colours in an old advertisement poster called BIG PATCH VEGETABLES and 4 packages of DAS clay.

O.K,....Before you accuse me of bad spelling I will just say that I did it on purpose, I'm very brave that way!

It's my way of going against the grain of society by daring to be different....Ha ha ha! No, really, there is a reason. Just read on.

Anyway, I mentioned in my earlier post how tiny my apartment is...what I didn't say was how dark it is.
