I started painting distressed furniture "shabby chic style" first out of necessity. I pulled a piece of furniture off the curb that someone was throwing away. I just moved into a small and super cute old cottage style house and I realized I needed more furniture. I found great candidate that somebody had left on the curb. I loaded into my vehicle, went to home depot, bought some paint, a brush, and some sandpaper and went to work. I chose white paint - I love white, and it's the cheapest paint to buy! After priming and painting, I proceeded to sand the edges to give it that aged distressed look. I loved the way it came out. Then it hit me - this is how I'm going to decorate my whole house!! The white finish was light and bright and I just loved it.
