Instagram project: stylish bedroom furniture

We found this good looking project on Instagram and hope to see the final results of Jenny’s hard work soon! Jenny (@jen23uk) is using PlastiKote spray paint to transform her bedroom furniture. We’re loving the idea – a cool satin black to make a serious statement in the bedroom. Now, we’re hoping we get to see what it looks like in situ…

We particularly love the finish Metallic Copper spray paint gives on radiators – and are delighted to include a project from another one of our favourite bloggers, Caroline Rowland.

vw camper-split van's long flame cover pic

Reader project: artist Olivier Jamin

With thanks to artist Olivier Jamin who recently sent us some pictures of his work in which he uses Valspar spray paint. Olivier describes himself below:

I am a deaf contemporary artist who specialises in hand drawn multi-coloured art, using stencils, mixed media and pens, pencils, paints, and spray pant. My aim is to produce work that combines the effect of colours and patterns and raise people’s imagination and awareness through my  own life experience and in particular my deafness, travels, dreams, colours and ideas. I am well known in mainstream communities around the UK and amongst the Deaf & Hard of Hearing community.

The main picture is called VW Camper -Split Van’s Long Flame. More of his pictures are reproduced below.
