Sinossi

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.

    'A brilliant writer.' Russell Tovey 
    ‘Thoroughly entertaining.’ OTEGHA UWAGBA 
    ‘Funny and beautifully revealing.’ BELLA MACKIE 
    ‘Wise, sharp and naughty.’ THE OBSERVER 
    ‘Herein lie the men of Raven Smith. Each of them has left a mark, a memory, a stain, whether they meant to or not. Some hit deep, and I caught feels. Some I discarded like a clip-on neck tie’ 
    From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Raven Smith’s Trivial Pursuits, comes a pin sharp, hilarious and incisive exploration of what it means to be a man in the modern day. 
    This book is about men because, in an annoying way, everything is. Funny men, tall men, charming men. Stepdads, actual dads and ripped ‘sports dads’. Raven Smith has been trying to distil what it is about men that has kept him intrigued his whole life. 
    Part memoir, part exploration of the peculiar dynamics and amorphous boundaries of masculinity, Raven looks unflinchingly at his own history, offering a cautious reverence of a life lived in parallel with other men. Blending the personal, the primal and the perennial, these are Raven Smith’s men in all their infuriating, labyrinthine complexity. 
    In Raven Smith's Men, the author, the Sunday Times bestselling author, explores the complex world of men, their relationships, and the social constructs that define them. His essays, a mix of self-help and scientific studies, provide a fresh look at gender and sexuality. 
    For fans of Dolly Alderton (Everything I Know About Love), Nick Grimshaw (Soft Lad), David Sedaris (Happy-Go-Lucky), Nora Ephron (The Most of Nora Ephron), and Amy Key (Arrangements in Blue).
