Painting handles can really finish a piece off, but it can also be a fiddly, messy job as you try to hold them, twisting them about to ensure you’ve not missed a bit. Painting them ‘in situ’ on you drawer/door risks a poor finish, colour transfer, and ‘painting them on’. Screwing them to scrap wood solves the problem, giving you the ability to turn the wood to allow access to all areas, making it easy to put them down between coats and avoids the otherwise inevitable painted fingers! For screw through handles like these, just put a washer or a turn of wire between the wood and the bottom of the handle to keep it slightly lifted off the wood.

Finding the perfect size and shape of lampshade for my lamp restoration project has been a challenge, so I was excited to find this at a car boot at the weekend. The fabric wasn’t right, but the frame is perfect - now to clean it up a bit and find the perfect fabric! Part 2 coming up next week!
