Why is it that when I read any articles about 'doing something up on a limited budget' they begin to waffle on about paint that costs twice as much as ordinary emulsion and special crackle finishes...then finishing off by rubbing with a soft cloth and beeswax.
These are kitchen cupboards from Argos matey...we're not talking top of the range here you know.
There was a sale on today at Homebase so we went into Sligo for a new lawn-mower...the last one having given up the ghost...bits began to drop off it and it was giving off a decidedly peculiar smell...
While Himself went to look at the selection I looked at paint...and found a tin of 'Cupboard Paint'...designed to cover up pretend wood. It didn't actually say that on the tin mind you...just said it is ideal for giving your kitchen cupboards a face-lift and there was no mention of crackle or beeswax...
So I gulped at the price and hastily put it in the trolley before I chickened out and changed my mind...
Then I saw the outside paint for sheds and such like...Oooo...all the pretty colours. Pinks and Blues and a gorgeous Violet...they were on offer...so I put a tin of Willow Green in the trolley and stood it behind my oxygen so as to pretend it had nothing to do with me...
So Himself has a new lawnmower and I have paint...and the sun is shining...!
