Here you can follow me and all my Brasi! I'm taking my hands on at least one project each week and share it with you step by step. The projects will be unequal and varied, the only rule is to have fun with them.
Bright and vivid colors have always caught my eye. Sometimes I simply had trouble with this. Just luxury trouble anyway. Like for example when I bought my Kitchen Aid mixer, it was devastating to have to pick just one color! White was never considered. This was especially difficult because I knew so later, when I would have blenders and grid system in the same line, it would have to be the same color So I was not really just choose the color of the mixer. It is good to be a visionary, but it can also just cause you trouble ... :) Sometimes I still tired on my own Vivid colors and prefer to have all white like the Swedish country home. It feels, however, not long before I have to paint one wall in a color here and there, add cushions for style and insert multicolored candles in the board of keys. We recently moved and I am a little've been on one of these white sheath. White walls, white curtains, and so I managed to stop myself before I went through our kitchen, which is teak, the car painters workshop and had injected it with white lacquer. The other day I took this old dresser only and varnished against the sides of the drawers white.
As previously stated, it is patience not my strong side and if I get an idea I need to implement it immediately. I got the idea to paint the mounting straps on the dresser any color White Course blundaði yet still slightly in me, so it could not be too tjúllað and I was in a hurry after all this. I on Petaluma black and yellow chalk paint, gave me did not even have time to go to the store and buy a decent brush in the correct size and gluðaði the chalk paint with watercolor brush that I found with my son. I am thrilled with the outcome and dresser considerably refreshing to see:
For those of you who want to try for you to furniture painting, here are some good tips. It is not necessary to sand the piece of furniture before it is painted (unless it is the less matter), but to clean all the dirt and grease of it is, however, essential as a good primer. I went Flügger Skeifunni and bought a white wooden base and painted with him two rounds. It is only a rough texture on the base varnish so I polished light of drawers with fine sandpaper after I had primed them. So I varnished over with white acrylic lacquer architect and had the 90% gloss. When one paints with such a high gloss is good to have a lot of brush and allow the varnish to flow out, which reduces man brushstrokes. I also learned a new council today of my good friends who is a master in the art; mixing a little of water into the varnish to dilute it. Then transfer it better and reduces further kitchen w8 brushstrokes. His words were indeed; "This will really kitchen w8 like spegilslétt". I'm going to try that next time. Chalk paint is great stuff. Easy to use, covers well and dries in an instant. It gives the dresser, just a little fun ambience to mounting straps completely opaque to accommodate the glaze on the drawers. The tiny "keyhole" I put the top drawer I got armor on Laugavegur and it's just nelgt with two small steel nails. I found it really put a little dot of i-flat ...
