I want to paint my bathroom drawers and cabinets to look like old barn wood, is there a simple way to do that ? Do you have to be a paint expert?

    IT's not that difficult to do. MrDIYDork shared this video that might help - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHnrSTS2hmo. And this one shows you how to achieve a weathered wood affect https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7Via9Lz4Pw

    You can pick up a cheap plastic tool from a craft DIY store that is curved and have numerous groves on it to mimic wood.

    Prep your surface, using your first colour paint the surface then let it dry then apply a second colour. You then roll the tool along the wet paint surfaces to give a wood grain like pattern. When happy with your results let dry then apply a gloss or satin polyurethane, following the instructions on the can and look up the brands website for further information. When dry refit the hardware and install.


    Have fun!
