In Annie Sloan’s Colourful Living, Annie shares 30 brand-new upcycling projects designed to give old furniture a second life. Each project transforms an unloved second-hand find into something beautiful and unique, with expert guidance on how to source the original pieces at flea markets and online.
Projects are grouped by simplicity and time commitment—ranging from an afternoon refresh to a full weekend makeover—so you can pick the right DIY for your schedule. Techniques include painting, gilding, dyeing fabric, stamping, printing, and stencilling, all clearly explained with easy-to-follow step-by-step photography.
