Metallic Bedroom

The magical effect of paint should never, ever be overlooked – the addition of a simple, inexpensive coat of paint can completely transform, update and increase the value of a piece of furniture or the wall of a room.

 Imagine a tired, dated room – dingy, greying walls, a stained timber cupboard, a chipped and dull framed mirror and a knotted pine bed head. Then imagine the entire room plus furniture painted in warm whites, a lustrous gold frame around the mirror and a patterned throw of fabric in pink and red on the bed – a magical transformation and one that can cost less than a hundred dollars.

The beautiful oriental-inspired cupboard in the picture was originally a varnished timber with many ink and coffee stains across its surface.  After a light sand, the cupboard was undercoated with Squirts Undercoat and then given a top coat of Squirts Satin White.  The same treatment was given to the bed head which completely eradicated the sight of the ugly knots in the timber.  Squirts is a quick drying, hard wearing spray enamel that can be used on a wide variety of surfaces both inside and out.  Being a spray can with an adjustable nozzle, it is ideal for painting hard to get at or intricate items.  It comes in a range of 50 colours.

The frame of the large mirror was also given a light sand, the mirror was protected with masking tape and then the entire frame was sprayed with Metallic Spray in gold, a non-tarnishing, quick drying finish that is suitable for interior or exterior use on wood and metal.  It is touch dry in 10 minutes.

  All cans come in a 310g size.
