Polythene, progress and pajamas.....

Typical-yesterday we ran out of spraypaint and needed one more can to complete our fridge-freezer makeover and of course B&Q had just closed!
The cream paint actually went on really well over the green paint-it's only the sides that need a few more coats and we haven't sprayed the bits of laminate to go over the old scooped out handle bits yet! What's funny is that the cream paint is a totally different finish to the green, yet both are by the same brand 'Plasti-kote Fridge Colours'! I much prefer the cream finish though-it's like a really shiny gloss and looks more like the cream Smeg fridges I so covet! The green paint gave a very matt powder-coated finish, which was nice too, but very different!

The OH ingeniously devised an E.T-like polythene 'incubation tent' in order to eliminate spraypaint drift!! He made a circular tent out of polythene, taped it to the ceiling, a bit like a shower curtain and moved the fridge out into it. It worked too as our kitchen was clean afterwards. Tonight it can have its final coat, and then we can remove the masking tape. We can still use it luckily, which is the main reason we didn't want to unplug it and spray it outside!
Finally-pajamas! I love these very CK-ish cotton pajama bottoms which are only £4 a pair in Primark! I like the polka-dot frill detail on the pockets, bottoms and waist-tie, and at that price you can afford a pair in every design...

Hi Sophie,
I'm considering spraying my fridge the same colour, it's currently silver. The only problem I have is that the trim is plastic will the plastikote fridge paint cover the plastic ok?
Thank you! x
