For worn-to-perfection charm, apply sandpaper (fine grit works best) to your completed project. Try concentrating on areas where natural wear would occur, at the corners and on the edges.

FINE TIME

Since chalk-finish paint doesn’t require sanding or priming, it’s ideal for fast upcyles. We did zero prep on this antique-y console table. The details:

Shiny surfaces (like glass, metal or plastic) won’t faze this paint, so you can get your color on with any decor that floats your boat. We went for glass bottles—we glued on metal embellishments after the paint dried.

GLASS ACT

Dual color is key to this happily distressed decor. Spray on contrasting paints—be sure to let the project dry between colors. Then apply sandpaper wherever you want the bottom hue to show through.
