Shelly's Faux Finishing Painting Tips and Tricks - Aging Techniques


Want to get a look of an ancient piece of furniture or art? Forget the cost of buying a true antiquity, you can add your own aging to almost any item. 

This is another "I can afford it" project. Get the antique look without the antique price!

Here are some examples that may help you get inspired.

You can age items by antiquing the finish - making the finish look old and faded - or by adding a crackle finish - made to look like it has cracked over time. 

I am not only the Designer/Decorator of these faux finish 'aged' items but I have done all of the work too. Unlike some Interior Designers, I actually do most of my own work.  These examples are no exception. They were all designed, developed and painted by me, Shelly Whitney.
