DIY Bucket List - Ombre Effect Furniture

I came across a youtuber called : Debi's Daily Diary and she has a video series about her new house that she wants to DIY everything that goes in, every episode is a new piece of furniture. She had three bar stools that she was going to ombre effect in three different colours. Now she has her own brand of paints that come in a HUGE range of colour and are so vivid but im sure we could do the same over here.

Ive been looking on Pinterest, Google etc for inspiration for colours and what piece should be my first ombre.

Here's what l found :





I happen to LOVE this colour selection

im thinking that l should do some kind of stool or chair as my first piece so ill be looking into the local charity shops to see what l could find! Might even see if l can find something on Gumtree!

I'll let you know what l find!
