The Bunnings Workshop community can help with your home improvement projects.
Hello
Awhile ago I asked for some help with up cycling some furniture and received some great advice. Adding to this the help I got from Kath & Kim at Shepparton Bunnings and below are the finished products. I am now on a mission to do other pieces and to try some decoupage.
Thanks everyone for your help from a very happy novice and my helper, he shows up examining the furniture from the inside.
Green one
Completely sanded back - ahh what fun
Top - Cabothane clear varnish gloss x 3 coats
Base - Dulux water base trim enamel interior semi gloss x 2 coats
Plum one (a pair done)
Light sand to body
Precoat ultra coat primer sealer to base x 1 coat
Top - Cabothane clear varnish matt x 3 coats
Base - Dulux designer chalk x 3 coats
Base - Dulux clear top coat x 3 coats
Not a lot of sanding but lots of coats of paint to get the finish I liked. Lots of time for the coats to set and cure too.
Hello @Puddin
Thank you very much for posting the results of your upcycle effort. Those drawer side tables look beautiful and the top finish looks flawless. It's always handy to have a helper even the feline kind.
We look forward to seeing your next project.
