grey bedside cabinet


corner cabinet

I've bought the unit as new but didn't really like the colour...wanted to add some age to the wood -
I'm very happy with the result...
How I did it:
grey paint (chalky) on wet cloth and on the wood (wait a while till the paint starts to dry and then remove with another wet cloth - remove as much as you like). I repeated the process a few times (in some places) till I was happy with the greyish effect.
On the door: transfer
All protected with a satin varnish...

2 layers of white ash varnish applied
the handle (iron) painted with 1 layer of primer and 2 layers of white chalky paint;
covered with clear wax (left overnight to harden). then dark wax (applied with a cloth, if too much applied you can always removed with the clear wax)

easy transformation of a changing cabinet

it looked a bit boring...for a little boy so...
I've painted the fronts white and glued  the motifs from a leftover wallpaper (PVA) then varnished for protection (3 layers)
I think it looks much much better ! don,t you ?...

my beloved kitchen cabinet



I was playing with a few colours here: white, black, turquoise, grey. I used brushes and sponge (the white was applied with a sponge: you can see a different pattern here).
The spoon and the fork: I used a medium transfer gel (there're plenty different ones so no problem to buy).
All protected with satin varnish and now is in my kitchen :-)
