Bright, Light & Modern

This week I showing you the steps to completing my third spray painting project since learning the techniques a few weeks ago. As I'm sure you now know, I'm pretty hooked on this spray painting... it's so easy, and so much faster than brushing.

These cabinets have been on my painting project list for quite some time so I was delighted to get them finished.

Of course these are painted in Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint (what else would I use!), this time in Ash, our gorgeous, and very popular light grey. Once you see the before shot you're really going to see just what a massive difference this upcycle has made.

Here's how I went about the project:
1.   Took the drawers out.
2.   Removed the drawer metal runners (each had just two screws).
3.   Placed each table (one by one) upside down on my Lazy Susan.
4.   Spray painted all of the legs and front frames.
5.   Turned up the right way and laid out in the sun to dry.
6.   Spray painted each table top.
7.   Painted the drawers.
8.   Set aside indoors for 7 days to cure.
9.   Purchased new handles and fitted them.
10. Gave each cabinet a good rub down with a soft dry cloth.
11. Put them back together and in their places. 
​
And here's the before shot...

Before long I will be onto my next spray painting project. I have just bought an old wooden BBQ trolley so I imagine that will be next, I'm thinking in Upcycled & Co. Furniture Paint in Jet.

Until next time...
