I've just been to collect my dressing table. I love it so much. It does need work and I need to strip it down and wax it or varnish it. I need to go and find the best way to do it now!

Hi everyone loving the piccies, lots of inspiration!
I have bought my first tin of F&B, in Wimborne White, very excited and started to paint a chair I had reupholstered. I first painted 2 coats of Dulux base, then 1 of F&B. Hard to tell what is base and what is F&B as both white...
Might need another coat tomorrow, it hasn't come out as smooth as I was hoping, even though I used a good brush. If it ends up not looking good, MrEL will say 'told you so, it looked better the way it was with no paint'!
Can I sand it slightly then apply another coat?
Help!

Hi all just wondered if you had any ideas as I wanted to finish this up today...:o

MrsMoo2U

Hi EL. I think that a light sanding between each coat would be the best thing to do. Try not to put too much paint on the brush also. Hope it works out.
