How can you achieve a Ducal Riverdale finish on furniture please?

Question by PeachCheeks: How can you achieve a Ducal Riverdale finish on furniture please?
I am seeking to change the finish of a pale pine wardrobe to compliment the rest of the bedroom set which is in Ducal Riverdale (Ducal Riverdale is now discontinued)

Those in the know will be aware that Riverdale looks like a creamy white matt wax (limed?) finish + you can see the grain of the pine underneath.

Grateful for tips on how to achieve the finish without making an expensive mistake on the wardrobe that currently looks like a sore thumb in our bedroom! (But it is just too expensive to just start over & buy a-new.) It is a pale undyed pine but wrong tone. The wardrobe is lightly varnished so I trust this will need sanding to prepare it for the new finish. But is the finish a wax, paint etc….? Step by step tips would be fantastic.

Very Cheap (NICE) French Furniture?

Question by : Very Cheap (NICE) French Furniture?
i am 15 and have been in the same bedroom since i was eight and i really don’t like it, long story short, it is getting unpleasant to be in (not trying to sound selfish, but i promise, if you were in there too, you would be happy to leave!) Although it is not that it is dirty it is very childish and, just not very nice! anyway i have seen this beautiful bedroom sets from Newtons Furniture. They are french (the furniture) and i adore the style.
i especially love:
The antoinette collection

http://newtonsfurniture.co.uk/shop-cat-11-antoinette-parisienne-cream

and the Rococo collection

http://newtonsfurniture.co.uk/shop-cat-21-rococo-french-white

the problem is, is that they are rather expensive, and i would have to pay for it. So what i am asking is if anyone knows if there are any cheap french furniture stores. i like newtons because everything matches so i would want everything to match. In my bedroom i would have;
A double bed
A bedside table
A nightstand/small chest of drawers
A armchair
A dressing table (i am alowed all of these things, and my parents would prefer to have these in my room, so i need some of them)
Newtons has all of that in a set, but i don’t want to pay that it’s like £1500 :S
I can’t go to any auction houses, and the problem with antiques is that the chances of you finding another piece of furniture with matches is pretty slim, and anyway antiques are EXPENSIVE! So if you know any very cheap french furniture stores then please tell me :) Also a lot of these french furniture stores have the same beds (like exactly the same) i’m just wondering where they get them from… somebody must be selling them all to everyone.
anyway thanks in advance to answers xx

This is the problem there is no such thing as cheap french furniture, your right it is soooooo expensive! you have a few options

have a look on ebay for some bargins

go to antique stores and find furniture that is the shape you like, then sand it and paint it french cream/grey/white yourself

Settle for ikea they have the odd piece of white furniture that when, acsessorized properly can look really good , try the hemnes collection or the kivby drawers.

maisons du monde has some gorgeous which is still a bit expensive but by far the cheapest iv seen! – they deliver to most countries

good luck!
