I am just after purchasing a bright red Stanley cooker, which I have always wanted. Now that I have my new cooker the rest of my kitchen looks quite drab and I want to give it a makeover. My worktops are black which look really well against the bright red so I will be keeping these. My presses are wood, which I would love to change but won’t be able to afford to replace them so I would like to paint them. Unfortunately, after the expense of the oven there is not a huge amount to spend on the makeover so any suggestions are welcome.
