Annie Sloan Colourful Living - 30 creative upcycling paint projects for your home

Annie Sloan

Sinopse

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.

Every Type of Plateau Slowing...

Zane Rozzi

Are you doing everything right but not making any further progress? That happens to everyone at multiple different points on the path to their goals. There are many different types of plateaus that stop your progress. You're most likely facing multiple different types of plateaus at the same time. The plateaus are universal and affect everyone. No matter what profession you're in, you'll face the same types of limiting plateaus as everyone else. The plateaus that halt your progress affect everyone from students to entrepreneurs to professional athletes.
Are you:
- Struggling to reach the next level no matter what you try?
- Leading a business or organization that isn't growing as fast as it should be?
- Trying all of the latest diet, supplement, and exercise trends but they aren't delivering any further improvements?
- Spending hours studying but not improving your performance?
- Training and practicing every day but not getting any better?
There's always a reason why a person, or a business, or an organization is stuck. That reason is rarely because of techniques or strategies. So, the newest gimmicks and trendy advice won't work. You're stuck because you've hit one or more of the universal plateaus that affect everyone. So, you need to address the plateaus - not your techniques or methods.
Don't waste time on trendy advice that quickly fizzles out. Instead, learn how to identify and break through all of the different types of plateaus that are stopping your progress. Once you overcome the plateaus, you'll be back on track to reaching your goals as fast as possible.
You'll be able to start applying what you've learned immediately after you've finished reading this book by using the example procedures, responses, strategies, behaviors, and action steps. It works; and it will work for you. Read this book, apply the information, and see for yourself.
