| I'm looking for a well illustrated / photograph based Faux / distressing book. I want to paint some existing peices (that are now a natural pine or oak finish) in flat black and sand through the finish to created that "distressed look" shabby-chic look.
Can anyone point me to a decent website or book on the subject? I'm NOT after a true "faux" finish, instead I want a worn look achieved through paint and physical abuse. Thanks! bradesp |
