I have never worked with chalk paint, I think the style your talking about is 'shabby chic"?

This is alot more work than it looks. I have tried it before by stripping back to bare wood (not easy) then priming it with offwhite/salmon pink paint - the colour of old primers.

Then painting the final colour and once thats dry, sanding back the edges and corners to make it look natually worn.

The type of furniture that lends itself to this finish is usually quite ornate with awkward curves, hard to reach carvings.

Now when someone asks me to help with a project like this, I run away

Great job Kim! Loving the pics. This can be a very rewarding hobby.

If I were given un unlimited budget to build my own house, I'd probably end up with a Victorian era haunted house with wood trim all over the cottamn place. So much trim it would be positively suffocating.

Nice work!

Nice work kimm. Nothing like doing what you enjoy and making a profit in the process.

Just be sure not to do that to any legit antiques. In your part of the country, there may be still the occasional unrecognized piece floating around from the 18th century at a yard sale or flea market. If you do that to one of them, you'll ruin its value.

This is good advice, as many pieces are better appreciated (by most) for their provenance & originality than they are for their immediately apparent condition/attractiveness. Misc wristwatch crew members are generally pretty aware of this (don’t polish an old rolex).

This does open up a cool new venture though (if you are interested)-faithful restoration. Usually, that means changing as little as possible, while still making the piece look well taken care of. I don’t know much about antique furniture, most of what I have is midcentury modern. Even with pieces from the 50s, major changes tend to destroy their value. Delicate and subtle restoration is preferred.

That said, nice work. I look forward to seeing more of it. Good luck!

Edit: and just to be clear, ^ all of that is only in reference to those rare situations where something you come across is a serious antique. It’s probably unlikely to happen accidentally these days, thanks to the internet. I’ve yet to find one historically significant used piece of furniture that wasn’t already researched by the owner to bump the price up.

It's great advice and I would never do anything to change a legit antique. I don't come across many antiques but I do have a few pieces. I have a beautiful clawfoot marble top tale and an Eastlake marble top table from the Victorian era. I was nervous as hell just touching them to clean them up and make them pretty again.

I mainly stick to with some older/vintage pieces...smaller tables, accent chairs and rockers.

The lady came to pick up her chair this past Sunday and loved it. She bought it for her 7 yr old granddaughter. She had picked up an old desk and was looking for a chair to go with it. She was so happy and I was relieved LOL...

Thanks everyone.
