GBM loves a Good Project: Updated


Yay, so as I said before we have been working on a new bedside locker for my side of the bed. We picked up this filing cabinet in our local Broki but it's grey tint alas did not go with our current color scheme (when did I become this gay?). So Husband and I have been spray-painting the locker a black metallic sheer.

That's Husband's Hand
It took a little longer to finish than we thought as we did not purchase enough paint to finish at first. I had been quite enjoying spraying away initially when Husband turns to me laughing and remarks.

Husband: 'You're hilarious, have you never used spray-paint before?'


I hadn't, Jesus how could I be doing this wrong? It seemed so simple. Whatever Husband. So I wasn't a delinquent youth during my teenage years, working on my tagging and being all rad. I was probably busy tipping cows or some other such country nonsense. So sue me.

Anywho after my education lesson in correct spray etiquette (he was right of course, as usual) we unfortunately ran out of spray-paint. So alas I'm afraid I cannot say that I really contributed much to this project. I was back in Ireland getting my wine on and catching up with my besties when Husband sends me this picture.

Looks great, yesh?

It's finished. I guess I am a little disappointed I didn't get to help much with this but that said doesn't it look awesome? Go Husband go.

Look what Husband and I found in our local Brocki (Swiss equivalent of Good-Will or Oxfam) for only 25 francs. It needs some work to but isn't it kinda cool. We are going to use it as a bed side locker, that said the silver colour doesn't really go with the rest of our furniture. So cue pic below.....


With a wire wool pad, some acetone and a can of black metallic spray-paint the plan is to create something more in tune with our current decor. Anthea Turner eat you heart is all I'm saying. Watch this space for updates.
