Getting the pine wardrobes painted.

The Little Painter stocks her paint in Hondon Linen & Luxury Goods and in Something Nice in La Zenia..
Lots and lots of lovely colours.
Paint comes in two sizes, 250ml and 750ml and although the smaller tin will easily do both sides of a front door, I’d recommend always buying a big tin. Once you’ve found how easy it is to use, you will always find something else you want to paint
Don’t be put off by the price, because a little goes a long way and I’d also recommend buying a Frenchic brush. Plus you don’t need a primer or a top coat, just clean with sugar soap, lightly sand and off you go.
The paint for my kitchen cost around 100€, ( just under 3 tins) so much cheaper than buying new doors.
You can find the colour chart

and if you look on Facebook, there’s an absolutely brilliant fan forum.

Thanks Lynn.
I’ll go for the 750 ml tin to see how I go.
I love your grey doors. The kitchen looks transformed and presumably you painted the border tiles too. Your husband must be very proud of you. Very well done. I’m not sure I’d have been as brave as you but having seen your results, I’m sold. Cheers. Rosemary.

Marvellous. Thanks Lynn. I too would love to get rid of those pine doors. Mind you after doing them bloody iron railings my fingers are usually mangled from sticky black paint and white spirits.

And if you put an old sock over the latex gloves, you apply the paint with the sock. Ideal for railings and spindles on staircases.

It looks a unfinised painting process to me,
A bit scruffy,looking at the pictures of the painted tiles, you can see the pattern through.
Is it easy to remove if you dont like it?
If start to paint a pine door and cant get a good finnish , your then commited to that process ??

I will try your tips Lynn and R for the railings. I did try a roller but gave up and went back to the paintbrush. I know I should wear the gloves but I hate working with gloves especially in the garden. Does the material in the sock matter? Thanks also to Chris for your recommendation re the paint.

Any old sock will do, but you need a glove on underneath because the paint socks through.
When you’ve finished just roll off the latex glove , keeping the sock inside.
Bingo - job’s done and no cleaning of brushes required!
