Wow, I love it too--and the detail on the handles looks so well against the blue. Well done.

Hi. How many coats of paint did you use? And did you sand it first?

junkista · **Posted: 27-04-2010 , 09:18 AM** #10

hi.. i gave it a quick, rough sand and two coats of paint! i needed kitchen storage asap so i wasnt fussy, just slapped on the paint!! it came out really well.
i'l let you know the paint brand, its really good quality

You could've had a matching bed too..!! ;-)

junkista · **Posted: 27-04-2010 , 09:23 AM** #12

its johnstones trade paint. water based acrylic satin, has a lovely sheen. ive used lots of paint brands but found the quality of this brand far superior.
