When this Burco Tumblair clothes drier arrived it looked quite frankly, a bit depressing, but J had some grand plans for restoration, giving it a look that adhered more to the U.S. models, to give it a bit more glamour and also to complement the other appliances we already have.
 |
| The viewing window is great, reminiscent of a TV screen and something you don't really find in household driers these days, at least in the U.K. |
 |
| The Burco was spray-painted an off-white and polished to give it that retro feel, and also to match our restored Frigidaire. This was a bit of an operation as we don't have an outside space to spray paint in! The cat seemed to enjoy it though... |
 |
| J added chrome stripping around the top panel, the door and the viewing window, more chrome the better! |
 |
| J then added a gold painted chevron, a new LED light and a thin metal mesh, also painted gold, to surround the dials. |
 |
And there you have it. The finish also goes quite well the
cooker with its gold and chrome dashboard.
All we need now is a kitchen big enough to fit it all in!
