This weekend, as well as enjoying the amazing weather I finally got round to choosing a colour for the cabinet and spraying it. As you may recall from an earlier post a couple of weeks ago the newest arrival in the house was an old filing cabinet which needed a bit of colour.
All it took was a good clean, some amonia to de-grease it and 3 cans of spray paint which cost about €10 off the Waterlooplein market. Spraying it went pretty easily although everything outside was covered in plastic sheeting and newspaper. Just two coats and touching up needed on some spots was all it needed. I worked front to back, but it's really just a case of making sure all points are covered. Easy and fun work, and gives you fantastic results!

This looks really good now! It's amazing what a bit of paint and love can do :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the post. I have some old file cabinets in my garage and I really didn't want to just throw them out. I love the ideas you've given as they are right up my alley! Thanks again.
