There seems to be nothing like a fresh coat of paint to spice up a piece of old furniture. Now that I am on holidays I finally
have the time to coat a range of different thrifted items with some
white paint to make them shiny and new looking.Each item required the
sand process; sand, prime and then 2 coats of white.
Remember my old rattan chairs? Well they look amazing now they're white.
I
also painted up a towel rack that I found on the side of the room
recently and half a ladder that I picked for $2 from my last ever garage
sale in the country town. These look so much better white, though I
wish I hadn't got quite so excited and remembered to take some before
photos.I will be using both these items in the guest room and can't wait
to find the perfect spot to mount the ladder and use it hold some
pretty blankets.
These items spice up spaces in the new house and really look so much nicer with just a coat of paint! I just need to paint the walls now too, I can't wait to lose the pink walls :)

Now time to tackle the 100 other craft projects that I've left on hold lately.
Love! There is nothing better then finding furniture on the side of the road and giving it new life! Awesome!
