Particularly when you do a chair, it's important to turn it upside down and paint the underneath first,' explains Annie. 'You won't miss bits that way and it's quite a fun way to paint. Some people find chairs boring to paint, but I love it!' For the best results when using the Winter Grey Shabby Chic Furniture Paint, ensure the surface is clean and free from wax or oil. If wax has been used clean the surface thoroughly with white spirit. We recommend that bare wood should be sanded before painting. Application: Once it's dry, accessorise your piece of furniture: a vase of dried flowers for a chest of drawers, new doorknobs for kitchen cabinets, a photo frame on a bedside table etc. It will look as good as new! • Where to buy chalk-based furniture paint While there's no need for sanding or priming, you still need to prepare furniture beforehand.

It's worth noting that wax can take up to two weeks to reach its full hardness, so be careful with the furniture in question. Don't be afraid to move the brush in every direction all over the piece. This part doesn't have to be neat or precise, you just need to get the paint on there,' says Mark Husband, Product Development Lead at Leader Doors.

This is such an important rule with all painting,' Annie tells House Beautiful UK. 'You can add paint, but it's much harder to take it away!

If wax has been used clean the surface thoroughly with a suitable wax remover. We recommend that bare wood should be sanded before painting. Hard glossy surfaces should be abraded before painting. Cover surrounding areas to protect from spray mist.The above estimates are based on using a primer first especially on porous surfaces where the paint gets absorbed into the material. Have fun!
