“Well Spring is here for some and whilst days are still quite gloomy & the colour “Grey” is definitely here to stay I thought for those of you who may be thinking OMG! What do I do with the grey? …...Well, a little or large amount of a bold colour can so transform a space & add a vibrant lift to your existing décor “.

“I 've chosen an Old Vintage Mirror & an Old Table End to upcycle as an example of how to make an impact with some bold colour whilst “On a Budget” still being key to this project so I decided to try out some testers and ended up with Homebase's Duracoat “Yellow Submarine” x three sample pots costing a total of £4.50, who needs to spend loads on highly priced paint when a little can go a long way and do the same job!”

“Well now I've chosen the pieces and the paint time to crack on...

Firstly I'd advise keying off all the surfaces you wish to paint using a fine grain paper being careful not to damage the mirror my advise here use some masking tape around edges. Once that's done wash off any surface dust, dry and your good to go with some paint.”
