Faux Finish: Re-Purposing
Furniture& Preserving Childhood Memories
Painting a Faux
Finish or even painting mural work onto an old piece of furniture is a great
way bring new life into a piece that would otherwise be discarded. It also
creates a conversation piece to a room.
Here are just a few
samples of Re-Purposed furniture I've created over the years:
A large brown wooden
table now becomes an ample size desk. The top is painted in metallic gold and
tiger stripes and the legs are distressed in black. Thick glass is custom cut
to fit the top to protect the surface and is also used to insert cherished
photos.
A flea market find
credenza becomes a pre-teen’s dresser painted to mimic animal skins and the
edges are painted in colorful tribal style motifs. Since this new dresser will
have daily use of teenage paraphernalia, it also has a protective custom cut
glass top.
Faux painting can
also preserve childhood memories. This “new headboard architecture” painted in
distressed and crackled metallics was originally a door mantle in the client's
childhood home.
