 ** ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! Style **

ChiPPed... SaLvaGed... TaTTeReD... WoRn...

V*I*N*T*A*G*E  F*I*N*D*S

It's All About A Natural Time-Worn PaTiNa

  that ONLY TIME CAN PRODUCE...

For the most part, I try to stick true to this NATURAL PATINA...

On occasion, if I come across a vintage item that has EXCEPTIONAL FORM & DETAILS, but lacks a Time-Worn SHaBBy Paint Loss,  I'm "ok" with painting it a PLAIN SOLID SHADE of WHITE - with no distressing...  Such items might be:

  ViNtaGe Chandeliers, Picture Frames, or a piece of Furniture...  These"more recently painted" vintage pieces add a lovely compliment/balance to pieces that have acquired a Natural Paint-Loss Patina...

I*M*P*E*R*F*E*C*T*I*O*N*S
Sooooo much more interesting than brand new!*!*!
Be it Wood, Metal, Plaster -or- Concrete, it's all about the  
UNIQUE TIME~WORN CHARACTER OF THE PIECE...
chips... knicks... dings... rust... 

** ChiPPy!-SHaBBy! SaLes **
 Shabby Cottage tables, dressers, benches, stools ... 
 Architectural Salvage...Vintage Mirrors with silver-loss...
 Vintage Chandeliers, Table Lamps... Small Adornments... 
Seasonal Decor...

A little Chippy...  A lot Chippy...
"Different Degrees of  ChiPPiNess"
*If the old shabby paint patina has become too loose/flakey,
 I'll stabilize the piece with a light sanding ~  
 Then SEAL IT with a coat of CLEAR URETHANE
to preserve it's look...
