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]

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

[chucken1]

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

[junkista]

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.

[junkista]

i couldnt bring myself to paint over walnut veneer!!

[sparkwell]

Great job Junkista you have a real talking point now as well as great storage.

[unapam]

It turned out just fabulous! Looks so expensive now! love it!

[junkista]

it was easy i have to confess..tudlytops gave it to me in perfect condition, the veneer was perfect so it painted up really well..and its a great shape so really i was making a silk purse from an old silk purse if that makes sense!
I'm onto my next jumbletown 'before and after' project tomorrow..this one is gonna be much more of a challenge.. let you all know how it goes!!! i'm hooked!!
