Sometimes I feel guilty when faced with a piece of old furniture or a wooden "something" that I am going to paint. I just find it really hard to put the brush in the paint and go for it.
Why on earth this is I'm not sure. Maybe I just like things that show the wear and tear of life (bit like me) or maybe I just feel the weight of responsibility when it comes to making sure I do a good job. Either way I want you to know that I really do take my painting decisions seriously. So on that note here is a lovely set of solid oak bookends before and after a paint job!
Here is the before.....
Here is the after...
Both are beautiful and both still do the job so to speak! No doubt some of you will prefer the naked wood and some of you will love the finished item. Either way both are right, both are acceptable and both are a joy to look at so there we go!
Next week I will write a "how to" guide for painting and glazing these and other lovely wooden items. In the meantime you can find these on my website pottymoos.com by clicking here BOOKENDS.
