Absolutly wonderful, I expect it took a lot of hard work, did you have to strip it down first?

[jmb]

You did a great job on the press. I'm sure if the original owner could see it now they would be amazed at the transformation. Well done. Regards Jane

Hello everyone thank you for the kind comments, by the time i had scrubbed the fag smoke off it and the mold, it didn't need stripping, I think it had never been touched since it was made, I just let it dry out and painted it with a small roller, 2 coats of duck egg paint from holnebase (ah hm), iam just at the moment doing a large dresser in the same colour to match, and a very kind jumbletowner gave me a table and chairs so fek it i did the legs of that too, i might do the chairs as well and hope the paint runs out soon as iam looking at the fridge and it seems to be cowering in the corner.

thank you everyone

[jessi1]

Thanks again for the nice comments.

That looks fantastic...a real treasure. They don't make them like that anymore. You did a wonderful job and the colour is my absolute favourite. Well done!
