Fake Your Own Antiques
This book explains how to give objects an antique-looking
appearance (leaning more toward the 'shabby chic' look). There are
over 36 projects with lots of color photos. Projects often involve
making paper, concrete, and wood appear aged. There is stenciling,
tile stamping, and decoupage. Among the book's projects, these are
just several: restoring fireplaces, decoupaging a water can, gilding
picture frames, aging a manuscript, aging concrete backyard ornaments,
and creating a pickled oak look on a wooden box. Each project lists
the materials you'll need and provides step-by-step instructions.
