Three cheers for Lacquer!

   Anyone who knows me, or has even spent an afternoon with me, has heard these words from my mouth: "That needs some lacquer", or "That's a  real nice lacquer".
Perhaps some of you thought it was a regrettable attempt at humour on my part. I am here to clear up any misconceptions. Nothing makes me more at peace than a carefully poured, perfectly set lacquer.

   I spent today finishing up some projects, one of which was a fun breakfast in bed tray make-over. I'm the only person I know who regularly receives breakfast in bed- yes, you can be jealous. I regularly phone my sister to remind her of this fact. Here's a tip though; if you own a sweet tray, you are more likely to be treated to breakfast in bed! I know this for sure, as our last tray broke down, and I was left sad and hungry.
It started life as a sorry white and natural wood coloured tray. After a coat of spray paint, I added some tape (to cover the new paint) and vinyl letters. Then I sprayed a bit of adhesive and covered it all with glitter. After the magical moment of removing the vinyl to reveal the shiny white letters, it's now time for…Lacquer.

 I love this stuff. Love it. Great for table tops, bars, really any surface in your house.
It's just so Shiny. 
(Just be sure to follow the detailed directions on the box.)
Now you to can cover all of your furniture in sweet sweet lacquer.!
