Oh no!

We had a bit of a setback on the painted armoire yesterday, I’d got a bit ahead of myself! In my keenness to get them painted, I had completely omitted the sanding stage. So when Brian came up to see how I was getting on, he casually mentioned ‘Did you decide not to sand them?’ ‘Oh no!’ . As it has a coat of varnish on it, painting straight onto the varnish will be prone to chipping very easily, and being a cupboard this could happen quite often.

We agreed that the best course of action was to sand them down now, before I start painting anymore. Brian got to work with the one I’d painted, leaving me to progress with the chairs.
