Synopsis

Handpainted furniture is one of the hottest new trends in home decoration. This book shows readers how to transform old or used furniture into family heirlooms with easy-to-paint floral and fruit designs in soft, pretty colours. The designs are simple yet attractive and focus on such favourite home decor themes as flowers, leaves, twining, ivy, fruits and berries, ribbons, latticework and chequerboard borders. Some of the fifteen step-by-step projects include a three-panel room divider, a headboard, a night stand, and a bookcase, and most can be painted on old or used pieces of furniture. Each project features a photograph of the finished piece, colour chart, materials list, traceable pattern, and step-by-step photos of the author actually painting on each piece of furniture. The author has researched new colour trends in home decor, and uses mainly pastels such as pale green, light yellow, sky blue, and soft pink on ivory. Touches of gold trim add elegance to some of the pieces.
