Seaside study
Q: I’ve been painting furniture for about six months, but had only attempted small projects until my mum asked me to update a 1970s g Plan unit for my dad’s study. After reading your ‘Life’s a beach’ feature in the June 2015 issue (page 42) i was inspired to update the unit in a nautical style. I painted it in duck egg blue and stencilled some anchors and yachts onto it before applying a coat of wax. The unit takes pride of place in my dad’s study and i now have the confidence to keep challenging myself with the items i paint.
