Crafty Christmas
Christmas budgets never stretch quite as far as most of us would like. So why not turn the tables this Christmas with some quick and crafty decorative ideas from International? With the help of a couple of coats of paint, it's easy to save the pennies and still get that high spend look that everyone will love long after Christmas is over.
An easy place to start is with the Christmas tree decorations. The trend of the moment is a lovely frosted look with a subtle shine that's a mile away from glitter, but just as glamorous. Apart from the lights, you can make it all by hand - with a little help from International.
Do you think this designer look is too expensive to indulge in before Christmas? In fact all this furniture was bought and transformed for just £125 plus the cost of a few tins of International paint. The table and chairs were worth almost nothing to the junk shop because of their poor condition. All it took to change this was a coat of paint and a little time - and now they look better than ever. We used Furniture and Cupboard Paint. The white satin finish is perfect for a soft fondant icing look that's ideal for Christmas and is delicious throughout the rest of the year as well.
Nothing in your home needs to play at being Cinderella this Christmas. Even boring old radiators can have the Fairy Godmother treatment and be transformed into a ravishing beauty. Try out the magic that is Quick Drying Radiator Aerosol in Chrome. It is easy to apply and will really reveal the inner beauty in your radiators. It's designed to cope with heat as well, so that it won't crack, peel or gather dust.
