[Today I'll show you a part of my life, something that makes me very happy. The bedside I'm going to show you now is the first bedside I had in my first bedroom. I think that it's at home since I was three or four years old and it's still with me, but now, in my house.]
[As you can see the bedside was very dark and contributed to the room, not too large, with much visual weight. I was thinking about it from several time ago. I think to clean, sand and give it a good coat of varnish but for one thing or other, it was delayed. This summer I decided to get with it. As I said, at first, I thought to leave it in its original color but you know that I heart white and so I thought a coat of paint could help to refresh it.]
[Following the good advices, from Belen Cossio who helped me a lot and has a wonderful blog, I managed to find a paint that, without mixing with any other, gave me the desired colour. I was looking for an eggshell colour so I got a couple of layers of an acrylic paint called Naples Yellow Light from Amsterdam. I'm very, very pleased with the result!]
[After washing, sanding and give it a coat of Gesso (primer), I gave it two paint coats and, finally, cleaned the handle bedside. I must admit that I apply so much paint in the drawer and now I cannot open it but as it's a sidetable in a guest room and the guests do not use the drawers in order to not forget it so... I leave it this way!hehehe ... For my first B & A is not bad, right? : P]
