When anything goes in the design team, I am drawn to embossing furniture (just because I have not worked out how to emboss my walls without making an almighty mess!)

A couple of tips when embossing furniture:
Clean the item thoroughly removing grime and dustGo outside and wear a mask (when heating old paint there could be some nasty fumes)Distressed is the way to go!
