About

Brighten up an old kitchen chair or dining table with a coat of paint and découpage. The options are as endless as your imagination: you could go for a unified colour scheme and a single subtle motif or a range of colours and bold layered découpage – whatever works in your home. This is also a fantastic way to upcycle a tired wooden desk chair or other wooden furniture.
