Decorating before and after pictures

I moved into my new home last November, and am trying to decorate on an absolute shoestring budget, whilst using spare cash to do the important stuff, like rewiring etc..
The wardrobes were an awful shade of pink, but loads of storage, and good overall condition. I painted them with emulsion paint, no primer or undercoat, just two coats slapped on with a roller and brush, and changed the handles for wooden knobs.
The garden shed was probably from a similar era, and hadn't been treated with wood preservative for years. Three coats of Cuprinol Garden Shades Natural Stone colour.

They look great, and so much cheaper and better than replacing with new.

Btw, if you're after more paint on a budget, any retailer that mixes paint to order usually has a rack of paint that has been rejected by the customer, and they cost just a couple pounds - paint roulette!

What great work, they both look fantastic (especially the wardrobes, what a makeover) !!

Well done, looks great.
