|
The walls
Paint the walls blue. Once dry trace lettering onto the walls using tracing paper and a pencil to mark the outline. Then paint it in a darker shade of blue with a signwriters brush. |
|
|
|
Kitchen doors
Cut a kettle shape out of 10mm MDF and stick to the door fronts with adhesive. Paint the doors with white emulsion. Drag blue emulsion with a dry paintbrush over the doors. Seal with furniture wax, to give an aged appearance. |
|
|
|
Chairs
Sand down the furniture and then next rub on clear furniture wax to the areas that receive wear and tear. Paint on two coats of white emulsion, which wont adhere to the waxed areas and can be rubbed back to create an attractive distressed look. |
|
|
|
Door handles
A variety of new door handles easily update the look. |
|
|
|
Clean up old lamps
Hunt out old ornaments that can be cleaned and painted up. |
|
|
|
Cushions
Complete this country look by turning tea towels into cushion covers. Cut out designs of animals from fabric scraps and iron on with Wundaweb. |
