A simple shabby chic piece, with a transfer that refused to stick. We have all been there...
In this video, I’ll show you how I approached a shabby chic finish properly. Building texture, layering colour, and working with the piece rather than against it.
Things didn’t go entirely to plan, and the transfer gave me a few challenges along the way. So I’ll also show you how I handled that and brought everything back together.
✨ In this video:
Creating texture with plaster of Paris
Building depth with layered paint
Adding subtle detail with stencils
Applying and adjusting furniture transfers
This is a relaxed, step-by-step project, suitable for beginners but with techniques you can take further.
Let me know if you’ve ever had a transfer misbehave... it happens more often than you’d think!
