"...Hoping to jump right in and upgrade an array of lackluster furniture this spring, we turned to experienced artist Pamela Vale. Vale is a furniture painting instructor at the Learning Connection in Providence and owner of Empire Celebrations (now Creative Potential) , a fifteen-year-old company specializing in decorative finishes, painted furniture and home accessories.
We're novices, we told her, with a short attention span and a hunger for a quick fix. Could she walk us through three or four easy techniques...to complement some of today's more popular decors...Whatever your taste, though, Vale's techniques will inspire you to give it a try..."
Below are a couple of "before and after" photos of two of the projects included in this article...
