BRILLIANT Painted OR furniture BONKERS?
“Even if furniture feels dated, I can’t bear the thought of a sound piece being sent to landfill. Paint can give most pieces a new lease of life, especially if it means you can find a way to love something sentimental or that’s been passed down to you, rather than either putting up with it or having to let it go.” MICHELA COLLING, STYLE EDITOR
“I can’t help but think we’ll look back in 20 years horrified by how many original pieces have been lost to a dodgy paint job. I’m all for restoring items but I’d rather leave it for someone who might love them as they are. The fact that an old piece of furniture has survived for years untouched is quite something.” LISA FAZZANI, ACTING FEATURE EDITOR
