And. Wa-lah! #1950s #Parisian #glamour#makeover for this incredible piece of #IKEA furniture. BTW it is the Hemnes bedside cabinet if you are interested to do the same.
Feeling quite proud. Total cost £2. This is for the pink paint which unbelievably I did not have since it is my favourite colour.
The other paints I already had. When I repurpose old or found furniture, I don't have a design execution plan or a sample schedule. I think it's fun to make things up as you go along, and if you stick to only three colours, you won't go wrong - as long as the three go together well. I know what colours go well together because I have a good eye and I don't plan or premeditate the task beforehand. I tend to use whatever I have, otherwise it defeats the whole purpose of repurposing and thrifting.
I tend to go for high contrast colours. I prefer strong colours to grey on grey or beige on beige. Those would be a dull choice for me.

After gluing, we painted the drawer gold. |
