DIY novice upcycles sideboard to create a stunning good as new piece! Using a dated piece of furniture, moulding from Wickes and a tin of black furniture paint this upcycled sideboard is a design win

Frenchic Fan Christine Mumford caused a stir with her stencilling in the Facebook Forum with this beauty! Using a mix of our classy duck-egg shade ‘Mother Duck’ with our deep turquoise shade ‘Anguilla’, both from the Original Artisan Range (750 ml of Mother Duck to 200 ml of Anguilla) Christine created the perfect hue to match her furnishings. 💙 She then customised the drawers using a stencil and our slightly off-white shade ‘Wedding Cake’ from The Lazy Range. All sealed with a soft sheen from our Frenchic Finishing Coat.

How beautiful is this! ❤ ‘Hot as Mustard’ from The Lazy Range - the perfect Autumn colour to inject into your home. 💛 Facebook Frenchic Fan Forum member Cheryl Falzon used the shade, along with Frenchic Browning Wax to give this writing bureau a fabulous aged and rustic look. We're open within the Melford Antiques, Interiors & Lifestyle Centre 7 days a week! ❤

Did you know our paint ranges can be mixed! But do bear in mind that adding any other range into the Al Fresco Inside/ Outside range will reduce its weather proofing properties. When mixing Original Artisan Range into any other range, we recommend sealing the paint with a Finishing Coat or one of our Waxes.

We're open from 10am today and tomorrow, see you soon (and don't forget to visit the gorgeous Pulmans tearoom while you're visiting!) ❤

Another beautiful transformation ❤ This is Dusky Blush from the Al Fresco range. No undercoat or topcoat required ❤ We have it in stock and we're open 7 days a week!

There's sometimes a little confusion about which Frenchic paint to use but most paints can do most jobs! Here's a handy guide for you from Frenchic HQ about our recommendations and if you're ever unsure, please ask in the shop or drop us a message! ❤

We've restocked! Dazzle Me is back in stock ❤️

We'll be stocking up in the shop this afternoon if you've any Frenchic queries or would like advice! ❤ We look forward to seeing you at Melford Antiques, Interiors & Lifestyle Centre ❤

Wow!! ❤ Absolutely beautiful ❤

What difference does applying Finishing Coat make to your Frenchic projects?

Well, as you can see, it adds a shine to Frenchic colours and can make them appear brighter. It adds durability to the Original range and it makes the Lazy Range suitable for use outdoors -but you've probably missed the boat this year though as the weather has to be dry and above 10c for painting outside.

This photo shows the difference in the Flamenco (an Original Artisan colour) with and without two coats of Finishing Coat ❤

Now the rain's stopped, what a perfect day for a coffee and a browse! Find us on the 1st floor at Melford Antiques, Interiors & Lifestyle Centre ❤ We're open 7 days a week, with a good stock of all the colours ❤
