I need a storage solution of some sort for dog walking stuff, foul weather gear. hats, gloves etc. It will sit next to the garden door in what passes for our dining area.
We have a very old blanket box that is looking rather battered now. It has a sort of laminated finish. Can I sand it and then paint? If I could it would save either living with a mess or spending money we don't have.

Re: this is what I need: this is what I've gotIs it like the laminate kitchen cupboard doors?
If so, you can buy special paint for them. I think Dew Lucks make one called  Lucy x

Re: this is what I need: this is what I've gotWhen you say battered, is the laminate chipped or coming unstuck? Might be more of a job if so.

Re: this is what I need: this is what I've gotSorry for the delay Mo - I've been proper poorly and although I've been on the Lane I've forgotten to check this thread.
The laminate is in reasonable condition and not chipped or flaked except on one corner. I'll be aiming for shabby chic I think!
