Unfortunately, I really dislike the sanding element but as Mr Chandelier likes to remind me when I complain about it, I could have left them cream! If I don’t sand back that heavily, then when I distress them you will see the cream and I don’t want that. I then have to apply 5 coats of paint – 2 good quality undercoats and 3 of my chosen Ammonite eggshell. The problem is, that I have to really heavily sand them back as I am distressing the edges of the units.
Also because we weren’t buying everything all at once, we could semi-recover financially before the next piece came up – I’m not sure Mr Chandelier would not agree with the semi-recover financial bit at all, but you know what I mean… hmmm….! The main units were bought by repeatedly going to their factory sales and purchasing either ex-display pieces or cancelled customer orders which generally tended to be roughly half price. My plotting and planning paid off and we pretty much have a complete kitchen now, only 9 years later! However, yes there is always a however in this household, this has meant that we have purchased the kitchen bit by bit. As you may or may not know, I am a bit of a savvy shopper and when Mr Chandelier & I first saw the Fired Earth French Oak Kitchen in their showroom I plotted and planned, (a very favourite pastime) a way to be able to afford it. Farrow & Ball’s Ammonite on Fired Earth Bastide plate rack with Greengate & Susie Watson potteryįor a long, long time now, let’s not say exactly how many years, painting my kitchen units has been on my ridiculously long list of things to do.
