Upcycled kitchen presses

[Rachelirl]

Updated kitchen presses with the addition of a new press from a kind jumbletowner to extend the existing kitchen for more storage.

These are old laminate presses that got a make over recently with a few coats of paint. The colour is blue/grey but cream or white would work well also. I painted them because they were extremely shabby looking and I wanted to extend the kitchen with an odd tall press (in at the end- see picture) that a fellow jumbletowner kindly donated to me.

I have lots of badly needed new storage (if I get bored and find the energy, I might paint them a different colour)!

Hia,

these look brilliant. I've been thinking of painting my kitchen cupboards. Did you use undercoat or primer before the topcoat?

Hi Edel,

I used about two coats of undercoat before using the top coat. The top coat is quick drying satin paint which I had mixed to the blue grey colour. I also used a mini gloss roller as well as a paint brush as you get the best finish.

happy painting,

P.S make sure your presses are very clean before painting if you decide to go ahead etc

Thanx. Thought of using a roller alright, you can never smooth brush strokes out fully!
