It's really impressive what you've achieved there! I'm sure you are proud of your efforts, as the project has really transformed that space. I love the design and the attention to detail with finishing mouldings.

Thanks so much @MitchellMc 😊

I will honestly admit this was by far the hardest I've had to paint by hand brush and roller with all the corners and timber mouldings! I actually started crying when I finished painting this! hehehe

Hence, have started to learn how to spray paint using the Wagner paint sprayer products. Getting ready and some practice to re-do our kitchen cupboards soon and wanted a more non-brush stroke look on the kitchen cupboards to a smoother finish look. We'll see how we go 😊

Hubby Ron builds, I (Ethel) do the designs and most of the sanding and painting. Ron will alter the designs at times based on how it's going to be built. Definitely a lot of time and effort but we're passionate about our DIY projects and really put our heart and soul into every project we do to completion 😊
