Sinopsis

Annie Sloan is a celebrated decorative painter and the inventor of Chalk Paint®, with over a million followers on social media. In her new book, Annie introduces 30 brand-new sustainable upcycling projects to give old furniture a second life.

The pieces in this book range from decorative items such as a bed coronet and a decoupaged bureau to large-scale undertakings including revamping a tall French armoire with a blend of Chalk Paint hues and using paint effects for a faux malachite desk. The projects are grouped by simplicity and the length of time required to complete each one, from an afternoon to a weekend. The techniques used range from painting to gilding, dyeing fabric, stamping, printing and stencilling and each one is clearly explained in easy-to-follow step-by-step photography. As well as her love for colour and paint, Annie has a passion for sustainability and reuse, and the book includes a chapter that explains the concept of upcycling and why it matters. Every project in the book transforms an unloved second-hand item into something beautiful and unique, and Annie provides expert advice on sourcing the original pieces at flea markets and online.

    This Book Could Save Your Life:...

    What’s sort of funny when something horrific happens is that nothing happens to the rest of the world. The cars still drive, the planes still fly… everything just continues. And that’s probably the best gift we have. Because, for the most part, there’s no right or wrong way to do things – life becomes whatever you make it. 
    This book has been written for you. 
    In 2018, Ben’s world collapsed around him when he unexpectedly lost his brother to suicide. 
    In the raw aftermath of this tragedy, Ben found the strength to learn, educate and campaign about mental health. He also wrote this book as a reminder that in despair you can always find hope. It’s packed with advice and practical takeaways. 
    So read it, remember it and pass it on – it could save your life. 
    In this deeply personal and inspirational autobiography, Ben West shares his journey through grief and depression, offering self-help strategies and psychology insights. His memoirs serve as a beacon of hope, reminding us that even in the face of death and despair, life can be shaped by our relationships and mood. 
    For fans of Matt Haig (Notes on a Nervous Planet), Susan Calman (Cheer Up Love), Lily Bailey (Because We Are Bad), Kate Garraway (The Strength of Love), and Minnie Driver (Managing Expectations).

Themes of isolation, pandemics, and the fragility of human existence are explored, alongside philosophical questions about reality, free will, and fate. The narrative examines the impact of time on human lives and the art we create to survive it.
