How to paint shabby chic style furniture?

I want to paint the mahogany furniture that belonged to my mother, in the shabby chic style. I am very I completely lose shy as furniture that can not afford to replace it, I wondered if someone could give me tips or advice on achieving this type of finish or point me in the direction of some useful websites. Also, if you tell me what type of material (types of brushes, etc.) you used, and especially what the shade of the paint of your choice! Thanks:)

www.talkfaux.com test site. I think you can find much information there for different finishes. It seems that many people out there who can help you. There are a number professional finish false attend this forum and probably will help. If possible, try to practice on a piece of waste material (I know it's difficult with the situation he is using his mother's furniture, but may be able to find some wood, as a garage sale or Goodwill or somewhere you can play with a little). I feel more confident to implement the parts of his mother. Also, try your library Local ... I found many book projects on such things that are truly inspiring and useful in the beginning. (It's good to have in front of you while you work, you know?) Good luck.
