Nooky Gossip 42! Painting Tips for Warm Weather! Bombay Duck! General Finishes! Bright and Colourful In the Spotlight Transformation!
The warmer weather is on its way! And I am seriously looking forward to sunnier times! But warmer weather can make painting more difficult with paint drying too quickly and leaving pesky brush strokes showing on your finished product. These are my top tips for working in warmer weather!

We are re-invigorating the homeware side of the business by cultivating beautiful homeware collections that are also ethical and sustainable. We just love the brand Bombay Duck London!

Nooky Gossip 35: Dixie Belle White Lightning Cleaner Lands in the UK! Prep Your Furniture for Painting! General Finishes Update! NEW Dixie Belle Transfers! Custom Fusion Mix In The Spotlight!
We’re now stocking Dixie Belle White Lightning Cleaner – yes it is finally here in the UK! This stuff is perfect for prepping furniture for painting (please note it should not be used as a common household cleaner or on metal) so this week, let’s talk about prepping!
Your finished piece will only be as good as the base you start with. The type of prep you need to do will depend on the piece you are working on. When working with used furniture it’s typically been loved for quite a few years i.e., it’s been scratched, it’s started peeling and it’s dirty.
