Shabby chic vintage furniture!

[mm29]

Hello! I have just spent an hour reading through this thread.
I am moving out soon and since my gran had just gone into a home, I am going to use as many bits of her furniture as I can to paint! So excited!
I have a round pine dining table, just wondered if I can still clean it after? Like with it been a dining table I like to spray dettol on after eating, and polish it when I'm dusting. Can I still do this after using Annie Sloan?
Thanks
Xx

Yea just wax it

Just bought these two chairs for my home salon, now I just need to get my hands on some Annie Sloan paint. I have just read this whole thread and love looking at all your projects. Can see this becoming a bit of an obsession. I'm very excited!

Hi ladies, after a bit of advice I have painted my bed in two coats of old white and I was going to sand a few edges to give it the distressed look.
Is it better to do this before I wax? I have seen somewhere it says wax sand then wax again? X

Just started up cycling the furniture for my new salon. So much fun!!

Hi, it's great seeing everyone else's projects! Here's my resprayed and reupholstered salon furniture for my new salon. I love that everything matches. My dad made the reception desk and I upholstered the front so it's a real family project! There's 2 of the chairs for my manicure area and the white floral chair is for a friend. I probably saved myself a fortune compared to salon furniture and I'm now slightly addicted

Not up-cycled or a project but I absolutely love my bed.

Just need the room to go with it now! That will be a project!

Picture doesn't even do it justice.

Morning guys. Starting on the shabby chic road...lol...
Any tips would be great.
Is Annie Sloan the best paint to use? Iv looked in B&q but they don't seem to have any and I kinda want now!

Do you all upholster your own chairs? Iv found some cheap chairs but it's around £120 each to be upholstered and can't really afford that ATM x
