Sometimes it's not just about saving money - getting the perfect match is just as good a reason to renew some of our old household items. When I got my house repainted recently I found that I was having trouble finding kitchen necessities to match the new decor Everything I had was tuned into the old colour scheme and didn't match the new. It takes me time to shop around and eventually I do find what I'm looking for but what to do in the meantime? Put up with looking at the miss-matches?................I don't think so! Paint them? .............well why not?
This is what I did with a tattered wooden kitchen towel holder and a purple liquid soap dispenser:
I made up some chalk paint with my plaster of paris and some emulsion (recipe on this blog) painted on a couple of coats and then sprayed with sealant. Now I have an exact match to my new look decor!
