My good wife informed me she no longer liked the oak refectory table we have in our kitchen. And then said she wanted to paint it :shock: A long discussion ensued about it would be sacrilege to paint such a nice thing.
Anyway we came to a compromise. I've removed the lovely oak table and hid it in the loft. And have bought a second hand table she can play nicely with. Its one of those veneered mdf jobs with solid Asian wood legs in mahogany esque finish.
She wants the laura Ashley look where its sprayed with some hard wearing cream smhoo and the edges are rubbed back slightly. Theres no chance I'm paying £1k on a one from the shop which is just mdf anyway.
So the question is what kind of paint do they use, its obviously sprayed on and is quite hard wearing. Any ideas?
