can i ask please how to do that marble effect?? it looks fab. thanks

wow well done, very clever.

im doin a refurbishment
 

I have just collected dining regency table and 6 chairs. i would like to do the same effect . was it difficult to do .did you sand the table first

If you want to do it by the book, you have to sand it even if you do it just a quick sand - a sanding machine comes in handy for this job.
I thought is going to be very difficult at first, but after, I feel like I want to paint all walls and all furniture in marble effect :-) It is time consuming, but I think is fascinating and if you make mistakes, you can always paint over and make it look like is part of it.
My advise is to try first on a small bit of furniture that you don't really care too much if you ruin it.
This is where I got the instructions:

That is excellent! Cheap and looks absolutely brilliant!

excellent, thanks for the link too. i got a stand thingy and was thinking about doing it marbled only it's got leather bits in the center of the shelves. I think I'll hold off for now.

It looks fab! Great job.
And thanks for the link. Now I'm just thinking what I can paint marble effect in my house?

I cant get over the work you have done. I have spent the last few days trying to find out about what paint I need as I want to try it myself on a worktop I have at home. Could you please tell me what kind of paint I need exactly.

Many thanks Mary Ryan

I have used normal white gloss paint for timber - and you only need one tube of coloured acrilic paint to create your different shades (any colour that you want your marble effect to be black, green, orange, blue etc.). I have done 3 shades of grey (so I needed 1 tube of black acrilic paint, mixed in the white paint). When you are finished with your marble effect, put 2 or 3 coats of clear gloss varnish to protect it and to give it the marble shine. I was affraid the paint will peal off on my fire surround because of the heat, but it seams to be ok. hope this helps.

Best of luck! I am sure you won't be sorry. It's time consuming but ... I think is fascinating.
