Recent Projects

Yikes, is it really that long since I posted here?!?!

I have been busy with furniture painting and recovering of chairs. One thing that has really put a lot more fun back into my projects has been the use of Chalk Paint by Annie Sloan. How good is this paint?!
Here's a lovely desk that I used the Chalk Paint on. I did the base colour in Pure White and the top coat in Paris Gray (my personal favourite).










These chairs (2 of) have turned out just as I imagined and I am so happy with them.










It's good to be busy doing something I love.

Upholstered Headboard

I have just finished this lovely Double bedhead.
When I got it, it was upholstered in pink velvet and looked rather tired.
I would love to write more but I need to get back into the garage with my paintbrush!

Occasional Chair

This chair was a great find. I mulled over what to do with it for some time. I could see it with fresh white woodwork and a navy and white patterned fabric, but decided to stick with the neutrals. I used my new stencil which I love. It was a little time consuming but well worth the effort.

I hope you all have a great week leading up to Christmas and get all those last minute jobs crossed off your list :)

Gorgeous Chair

I recently recovered this lovely chair for my friend Sandy (of Paint Me White ). Sandy had 3 different fabrics to choose from and I think she got it 100% right with this stripe. I also think her decision to keep the timber natural rather than painting it was spot-on! Isn't it beautiful :)

Beautiful Balloon-Back Chairs

I really have to stop refurbishing furniture that I fall completely in love with!!!

These 4 balloon-back dining chairs have come up so beautifully. I am having so much fun with my new stencil, although I think it may be time to invest in a new one. Even my kids commented that they are getting bored with this one haha.
