I’ve finally finished this gorgeous vintage oak cocktail cabinet, and I’ve had such a lovely time working on it.

I wanted to keep as much of the beautiful original wood as possible (which I stripped) and give it a bit of an Art Deco feel with deep black and warm copper detailing.

And can we just talk about Jet Black from Guild Lane’s Jubilee range for a moment? I’m absolutely obsessed with this paint! It’s so lovely to work with, goes on beautifully and dries to this gorgeous soft, smooth finish with just the perfect amount of sheen. Honestly, it’s lush.

I’ve teamed it with Copper from Guild Lane’s GILD metallic range, which is another product I’m completely in love with. The richness of the copper against that black and the original oak is just such a lovely combination.

One of my favourite little details is the original decorative design on the front of the cabinet. I loved it so much that I copied the design onto paper, then painted it in black and copper to create my own decorative lining for the inside. I love being able to carry a detail through a piece like that.

And then there’s the copper velvet w**e storage, which I can’t take the credit for because that was Tony’s idea!

He came up with the clever idea of cutting old carpet tubes in half, which I then cover in gorgeous copper velvet for storing w**e bottles. So not only have we upcycled the cabinet, we’ve managed to upcycle some carpet tubes too!

Tony does come in handy sometimes!

I do love taking an old piece of furniture and giving it another chapter in its life, especially when I get to play with gorgeous paints along the way.

Anyway, she’s finished, she’s fabulous, and she’s now looking for a new home!

What do you think of the black and copper combination? I can’t seem to get enough of it at the moment.

Well this one’s finally ready to leave me…

This is an original Sureline cocktail cabinet, dating from the mid-century period, when the home cocktail bar was very much part of entertaining.

I knew from the beginning that I wanted to keep as much of the original wood as possible, so rather than covering it, the wood has been restored and refinished. Then I could have a bit more fun with everything around it.

And this is where Guild Lane came in.

I’ve been working with their paints over the last few weeks, getting to know them properly by actually using them on furniture, and this is my first completed piece.

The black is Jet Black from their Jubilee Furniture Paint range and I have to say, just look at that finish! It has levelled beautifully and given me that really smooth, rich black I wanted. Against the restored wood it looks gorgeous.

And obviously there had to be copper.

The metallic copper is also Guild Lane, from their GILD range, and I’ve used it to pick out the details and those lovely lines on the cabinet. I love how the three finishes work together: the original wood, that deep Jet Black and the warmth of the copper.

Inside, I’ve kept the wonderful original mirrored cocktail section and glass holders, while the lower section has been lined in copper velvet.

You might remember I asked you all to choose between the copper velvet and paper. The velvet was by far the popular choice, so I listened to you. I think you were right.

This is exactly the sort of project I’ve been looking forward to doing with Guild Lane. Taking an old piece with history and character, keeping what deserves to be kept, and using their products to bring it into its next chapter.

And I have a feeling you’re going to be seeing quite a lot more of Guild Lane around here!

Now available on my website.

Pineapple ice bucket not included. I’m not ready to part with that! 🍍

After almost 10 years, it’s time for a bit of a change here at Colour Me KT.

My time with Fusion Mineral Paint has now come to an end. It’s been a huge part of my life for nearly a decade, from painting furniture and teaching workshops to creating content, helping customers and being admin of an incredible community of 650k furniture painters.

It’s perhaps not quite the ending I imagined, but sometimes things change behind the scenes, priorities shift, and you realise it’s time to take your experience, knowledge and energy in a new direction.

And that’s exactly what I’m doing.

I’m definitely not going anywhere. I’ll still be painting furniture, sharing ideas, tips and advice, creating content and generally making a mess with paint. In fact, I’m incredibly excited about what comes next. More on that soon…

As for the shop, you lot have done an amazing job of clearing me out and ALL OF MY FUSION STOCK HAS NOW SOLD OUT!

But there are still lots of other lovely products on the website, and EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOW 50% OFF (excluding furniture).

Just use code 50OFF at checkout.

Thank you to everyone who has bought from me, come to a workshop, asked me a question, sent me photographs of your projects or simply followed along over the years.

Nearly ten years is a bloody long chapter.

Time for the next one!
