its not actually mine yet but its on auction & i think i might bid!
i know it looks kind of crappy but i love doing things up and i think it would look really good at our house. (done up)
what paints should i use and what would i need to do?
please help im a girl & this will be the biggest attempt to make something look better that ive ever done. (:
the seller sais....The sides are made from sleepers and the base is a chipboard type timber. With decorative arcitrave edging
so what paint for those woods? and any other suggestions would be much appreciated.
it's WONDERFUL!!.... go get some WHITE STAIN..... not paint... STAIN..... go over it twice.... leave the dents, the peels and all ....that's if you want to keep the shabby-chic look.... otherwise, sand it first and use a good primer and paint ...... would suggest getting it off the floor with bun legs.... wouldn't paint with water=based paint on the chipboard bottom... the mattress will cover that... just leave it as is.....
