is it possible?
They look so tacky and I'd love to make them fit in with my shabby chic look.
But they won't take paint will they?
Do you think they'd take fabric glued to them?

I believe you have to rub them down lightly and then paint them with primer first. I've never done it, but I have watched far too many "changing room" programmes in my time:rotfl:

You can buy special MDF primer & then paint them. You get a really good finish by using satinwood or eggshell paint.The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.
I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.0 -
Especially if you use a mini roller for the flat surfaces.cattie wrote:You can buy special MDF primer & then paint them. You get a really good finish by using satinwood or eggshell paint."We are what we eat. Which makes me cheap and fast"
