WOW That looks really gorgeous

Thank you, I still have to do a few finishing bits, like screw the hinges back on and add the tassle but nearly there. It is my first ever shabby chic makeover and I am hooked. I am currently trying to do a nest of tables but it keeps raining and so I cant do the next coat of paint outside. OH would freak if he saw me sanding them down and painting them on kitchen table so I have to wait until he isnt around

A 99p buy off Ebay....also painted with Ivory satinwood and decorated with simply painted cockerels...the rods were a complete pain to paint

I really love this. Did you hanpaint the cockerel yourself. I have a thing about chickens at the moment and now I want one of these!!

Lajoni, your chairs and plate rack look gorgeous! Do you use acrylic paint for the designs?

Has it been painted before or is it natural wicker....tbh I'm not sure what sort of paint you can get in spray form...Plastikote do brilliant range, go on their site and the advice you need should be on there

Have just had a look and they advise their ''SUPER'' a Multipurpose spray paint in 60 colours and 3 finishes, Matt Satin and Gloss plus they have 'How to videos'...oooh I want to spray something now lol

If its natural I wouldn't have thought it would need sanding though not sure

Thank you, yes it has been painted before. I will have a look on the Plastikote website - thank you for your help

I didnt sand my ottoman, I used the soft brush on the hoover and gave it a bit of a brush with a stiff hand brush just to be sure.
