Description

Learn to transform your old furniture and give it a new life with chalk paint

Get to know Neus Iserte, who tells you how her project Crea Decora Recicla came about before talking about her work and her greatest creative influences.

She explains what chalk paint is in more detail, talking you through the waxes and what they are used for. Next, learn how to prepare the piece you're going to work on, choose the ideal tools for the job, and see how to get the best results from the waxes for a professional finish.

Discover the vast array of finishes, colors, and styles that exist, focusing on current trends provided they are suitable for your space.

For the final project, paint a chest of drawers in a basic and simplistic style. First, clean the piece of furniture, then apply the layers of paint, the wax coating, and the finishes. Experiment with materials and techniques and watch the piece change before your very eyes, taking on a wooden effect with an aged finish.

Neus wraps up the course with some pointers on cleaning and caring for your furniture. She talks about the responsibility we have to the environment and how we can live more sustainably by giving our furniture a second life.
