Thanks for all your lovely comments on my finished drawers. Now to answer some of your questions. I don’t use a spray gun, I did once many years ago (I borrowed a friends) for painting outdoor furniture and did think this week that I should go and purchase my own. But I’m the kinda girl that goes out to my shed and paints for an hour then goes back inside and does a load of washing and then pops back to the shed to paint another piece sometimes in many different colour. So to me using a spray gun would just involve lots of cleaning and maybe too much mucking around for my liking. I would imagine the best use for a spray gun would be to undercoat half a dozen pieces and then maybe line then all up and use the spray gun then. For now I am sticking to my trusty paint brush.
This was a cute cheval mirror that was a bit smaller than the average one so I thought it would be perfect painted in a pale pink for a little girl’s room.
This desk was already white but the top was in bad shape with lots of glue and stains, with a bit of hard work and some crystal knobs it has come up lovely.

What kind of paint do you use Sandy? I've got some old cupboards which I'd like to paint. Have you any recommendations?

Fabulous job Sandy 🙂 And that chair is to die for!! Please don't tell me it's a 'thrifty find' – I want you to tell me that it cost you a gadzillion $$$$ so that I can dismiss the possibiity of ever having one instead of being just plain envious – envy is so bad for the soul and I'm sure it gives you wrinkles 😉

Sandy, hello from Canada!! I love your blog, it's the first one I head to. I understand because I love to paint too. I do furniture with straight lines with a tiny roller brush. It's inspiring to bring an old piece up isn't it??
All the best to you and your family. Patricia

Both of those projects are so pretty- I love glass knobs. We are in the process of changing all of our kitchen handles for glass ones. 🙂
I love that chair, too!
