Ombré with Girl UPcycled Studio
Spring will be here before you know it and so will those exciting yard sales! Look for lightly used wicker still in great shape.

Make sure your pieces are vacuumed well and free of dust and dirt. Use a light degreaser to spot clean if necessary.
An ombré effect is achieved by blending at least three colors into one another fading dark into lighter.

    I have a vintage wicker desk but it has layers of white paint on it any ideas what I should do with it. It's a bit brittle so I'm a bit nervous scrubbing it with anything harsh

    I have an plastic adirondack chair. Do you think I can achieve the ombre look with it?
