But you find it never quite looks the way you imagined right? 

It looks one way in your head but somehow it never turns out how you hoped?

I would love to show you the secrets to mastering these techniques and how easy it is to create authentic and beautiful aged furniture when you have a step by step guide to apply them. 

That is why I created an easy to follow mini course showing you the simple processes to layering up some easy chalk paint techniques and creating the beautiful finish on this side table. You can take these techniques and make them your own by using them to create your own beautiful and unique furniture pieces.
