White Bedroom Furniture - How to Paint Shabby Chic White Bedroom Furniture
Elegance and beauty start with white. The reason why Shabby Chic decorators choose to paint and decorate with all white and Antique White furniture, is because it absolutely goes with everything!! Even if you have small children you can still enjoy the beauty of white. Yes you might need to keep up on your dusting, but your home will remain cheerful, cozy and well worth it. White bed Room Furniture is very versatile. The other wonderful thing about white bedroom furniture is that you can paint your walls any color.
White does have options....you can either choose a matte finish for your white furniture, a semi-gloss finish or high gloss finish. You can even choose Antique White to paint your furniture. Antique white is a bit of an Off White. It mixes very well with other Pure White furniture that is in your home. If you have any bleeding through of old oils in your furniture that you sand and refinish, you can use a white primer called Killz....it works wonders while covering any previous paint and wood stains that were on your furniture. You will absolutely love it!
If you choose to decorate your bedroom in shabby Chic White furniture, you usually want to use the antique white. To really make your white Bed Room furniture look stunning you can add Victorian glass knobs that can be found at any hardware store. Many of the shabby chic white bedroom furniture pieces have glass knobs. The glass knobs really stand out beautifully with the antique white furniture as well as with the pure White Shabby chic furniture. I just love the glass knobs. The glass knobs add such a feminine look! I have also painted the original knobs of Furniture White and sanded them a bit after painting them. It also looks very elegant and fabulous.
You cannot go wrong with white bedroom furniture!
Another option with white furniture is "distressing it". The way to have the distressed and comfortably warn look in your furniture is when you are done painting it, you take a piece of sand paper and lightly sand the edges and all the corners. It gives the furniture a worn antique look. This look is also called "shabby chic". It is very popular and the style in itself is very welcoming and comfortable.
White furniture is great because you can blend every piece of miss matched furniture in your home all with one can of paint! Your home can look like a model home with just a little effort and enthusiasm. So get busy, have fun and let the magic of cozy, homey, elegant and fairytale white begin.

Shabby Chic $20.98 Valuable flea market finds . . . A peeling, antique vanity in a muted sea green . . . An elegant, cracked chandelier . . . An enormous, slipcovered sofa with deep, plush cushions . . . Comfort, the beauty of imperfections, the allure of time-worn objects, and the appeal of simple, practical living: these are the cornerstones of Shabby Chic style. Like the cozy familiarity of a well-worn pair of faded jeans, the dilapidated elegance of an Italian villa, or the worn grandeur of faded velvets and mismatched floral china handed down from your grandmother's attic, the Shabby Chic style is a revived appreciation for what is used, well-loved, and worn. It is a respect for natural evolution and a regard for what is easy and sensible. The hundreds of lavish photographs in this book invite you inside the unique world of Shabby Chic. Rachel Ashwell, founder of the Shabby Chic home decor stores, provides her invaluable and much-sought-after advice on how to re-create Shabby Chic style in your own home. With engaging text and easy-to-follow instructions, Rachel details the Shabby Chic basics in a way that will put even the most apprehensive or novice decorators at ease. From flowers to fabrics to lighting, Rachel illuminates all of the elements essential to this unpretentious yet truly exquisite style. A behind-the-scenes look at a flea market lets readers in on Rachel's personal secrets of how to cull hidden treasures from flea market trash--an old trunk, its paint peeling around the edges, can be given new life as a coffee table, while a chipped white iron salvage piece becomes the perfect frame for a vintage mirror. This book tells you not only how to restore these pieces but how to find the perfect place for them in your home. Gorgeous color photographs and accompanying text reveal how this relaxed look works with a variety of different styles, from Victorian to Mediterranean to contemporary. |

The Shabby Chic Home $16.99 Wonderful wide–plank floors, paned sash windows, an old brick fireplace, the charm of living with a home‘s small imperfections and making them a virtue. These are just some examples of what makes up a Shabby Chic home. When she first saw what would be her future home, Rachel Ashwell, founder of the Shabby Chic line, was put off by its dark, witchy exterior, gloomy interior, and overgrown garden. But for weeks afterward, she couldn‘t get the house out of her mind. She went back, took a closer look, and started to see the charm that lay hidden beneath the surface. Excited by the challenge, she bought the house and went to work on it. Inspired by the original design of the 1920s house, Rachel was able to transform it into her bright, cozy dream home, one that had the hallmarks of a Shabby Chic home: a practical amount of space, a relaxed atmosphere, and a comfortable beauty. Through simple instructions and detailed before–and–after photographs, Rachel reveals her decorating and entertaining secrets. Even the most apprehensive novices will learn how to incorporate Shabby Chic style into their everyday life and home. Using her home as an example, Rachel shows you how to assess what needs to be replaced (in her home it was the dark tile in the pool and the bathroom doorknobs), make small structural changes (she exchanged a glass window for a glass door), and keep costs down while adding personal Shabby Chic touches. The gray marble countertop in the guest bathroom and the somewhat noisy glass–front refrigerator were fixtures she would have never chosen, but she left them alone and was pleasantly surprised by the character they added. In her previous books, Rachel showed you how to recognize beauty in overlooked places. Now, in The Shabby Chic Home , she teaches you how to find it in the nooks and crannies of your own home and then apply it to everyday life. She reveals how work, love, a lot of white paint, and Shabby Chic details can turn any new house into a comfortable, functional, beautifully designed home. |
