On Wednesday we picked up the new carpet for my craftroom and yesterday we started clearing the room again. This morning we emptied out the rest and the carpet fitter is coming at 11. I had this old pine bookcase in my room to store my stamps and I am delighted with the makeover.
Graham painted it using Frenchic paint, which so many people on Facebook have been recommending. He used an orbital sander then sugar soap before brushing two coats of paint using Frenchic alfresco greyhound. I look forward to seeing it in the room which has been painted pale grey instead of the lilac. The grey looks lovely with the purple blind, chair and bunting. I will share some pictures at the weekend.

Your bookcase looks amazing Marianne. I cant wait to see the newly done craftroom! Graham did a wonderful job! I painted all our oak dressers in our bedroom and what a difference.
Love what he's done with the bookcase, we have one similar, I'll have to see what I can do with it. Look forward to seeing your room.
