Should I paint the inside?
Finishing inside boxes and drawers
Try some simple things for the insides:
Spatter it, Glaze it over wih another colour, Sponge it, Rag it, Glad wrap it! For all of these choose a colour that will compliment or contrats with the base colour. Dark blue and light blue for example. For a glaze, use a glazing medium. Brush it on and either leave it, or create texture with a sponge, finger, finger nail, rag, glad wrap, scrunched up paper or whatever. These are a quick easy way to jazz up the inside. You could also use Soft flock to imitate a felt lining. This is a product your can buy at some craft stores.
