A worn effect that gives style!

Having cleaned several houses during my time as a housekeeper, this was a title that best described the job I was doing at the time. Well, there was one house. In particular, that was almost identical to a magazine, but my client wasn’t happy with a couple of things that she found aggressive. Moreover, she wanted to improve the scenery to make it more perfect. Let me tell you that this feeling of always wanting to make our cozy little nest more beautiful and perfect is impossible to satisfy. 

Why? 

Because a lifeless house is not a home, it is a cold and imaginary setting. By the time furniture ages, the coating of that piece engraves its history.

We can look at an addict and say to ourselves, here it is!

The time Roger drank one too many glasses and dropped his plate on my dresser or Oh! Yes, the pencil marks on the couch! My 2-year-old niece has her autograph written on it.

Short! all of this leads me to tell you why I like to make furniture filled with imperfections like two tables. Furthermore, the job is easy to do and beautiful. Also, the way the styling will allow the tables to survive future crashes and fights is just wholesome. Any future scratches or the like will add detail. 

I’m a perfectionist. I like glossy and sleek furniture to accept the marks of time. Much like my husband with his car, it hurts when my children hang up the stuff. It is one of the reasons I like the worn style so much.

In conclusion!

It may seem difficult to put on a worn effect, but in my opinion, it’s one way to highlight imperfections. So instead of fixing your gaze on some annoying details, have them turn them into an attribute. Consequently, the piece of furniture becomes a work unique to itself. The worn and cracked technique gains to be known and practiced for its unique and dated style.
