How To Paint A Gingham Pattern
Hello gingham…paint!
As you know, I’m obsessed with reimagining secondhand furniture and when I found this secondhand bookshelf, I wanted to make it bright and colourful. I’ve created a tonne of different patterns using paint but was determined to try something new - GINGHAM! I went straight to Bunnings to pick up some sample pots in different shades of blue and after a lot of trial and error, and watching about a million YT tutorials, I dove straight in. Even though I was very nervous I had completely messed up at almost every stage, I decided to adopt the adage “ignorance is bliss” and persevered. And I am so glad I did because it looks incredible! Best of all? You only need paint, paint rollers and painter’s tape - how good! I can’t wait to hear what you think!

Before & After
What I love most about this project is that you don’t need a lot of material! In fact, here’s what I used: Scotch Blue Painters Tape, British Paints Sample Pots and Monarch Paint Rollers.
