Here is a sample of fun colors to paint on old furniture. You can refresh and give them a new look just with paint.

Painting a Silver Shimmer on a chair

I wanted to refresh these queen Anne style chairs so i wanted to bling them up a little
I first  sanded them here and there. Then I painted them a dove grey for a bottom coat. I accented the chair with Martha Stewarts metallic silver paint. I paint with a dry brush technique so no wax. Once i recover the seats i'll post the finish look!

Paste paper tissue collage is a very lively technique that is very fun to do. The layering of tissue creates depth and new colors. I enjoyed making this image.
